It's medically required. The medicines I take cause extreme stomach problems for me so water helps a lot. I have to continually drink water throughout the day.

For medical purposes, I have to be able to consume water throughout the day to take my medicines. Hydration will not be an issue. :)

The type of fast is Jewish (like individual day) but the duration is for other purposes. I'm not wholly concerned with discussing the faith portion, just the nutritional portion. Thanks for the information though. :)
