How long can a person live without water?

Humans body is a very complicated thing and everybody thinks differently when you ask them, "How long do you think a person could live without water?". Some people will say weeks, and others will reply a few days or even hours. Nobody knows exactly what it is but they have some guesses.

As the many researches have found out that a human body is made anywhere from %50 to %70 water. Water plays a big role in your organism. If there is no water the organs will not work properly and dehydration will start.

The approximate amount of days that you could go without water in your organism is anywhere from eight to fourteen days. It all depends on the person. How fast the water and liquids are going out of the body. Sweat, urine, and tears go out of a humans body and it is very hard to predict how the water inside of you is being reduced and by how much.

It is very different from the food situation because in case of food, a human body is able to hold on as long as three months or even longer. It all depends on the person's shape and structure. If the person is heavy and weights a lot then it is most likely for them to survive for a while. But if the person is skinny and out of shape, that person will have less chance to surviving for as long the the fat person.

Water and drinking is a very important part of your body running and growing. If you reduce the amount of water that you get every day, you are going to see some results like dizziness and headache. It is very important to have enough water every day. That is why when you are sick, you need as many liquids as possible because the water will clean out your organism and help you fight the decease.

i have to disagree, a relative of mine has suffered a massive stroke and can no longer swallow, the hospital have tried tube feeding and this has not worked so 13 days ago they decided to withhold food and fluids.This relative is a frail 90 yrs old female who weighs about 5 stone and is still hanging on.

My Nan is in palliative care now and has been since Monday when we withdrew all aids (fluids etc). She suffered a massive brain haemorrhage and they can do no more for her, but her body is fighting hard to stay alive and its so very distressing to see her every day like this. I wish it would come to an end now for the sake of everyone. So if anyone has any information on potentially how long this could take I would appreciate it.

As a depression and anxiety sufferer I've gone periods without food or water. At one point when my depression reached an apex I had absolutely no appetite or desire to consume fluids and went eight days without food or liquids. Yes, I had bad headaches, dizziness and extreme lethargy. I'm currently at war with this goddamn depression/anxiety and it's been a terribly long battle. Life for too many of us can be a real bitch.
