Why we cite it
A concise clinical review of refeeding syndrome — the potentially fatal fluid-and-electrolyte shift that can occur when nutrition is reintroduced after prolonged starvation or fasting. Establishes that the return to eating, not only the fast itself, is a period of risk, and that safe management depends on identifying at-risk individuals, reintroducing calories cautiously, and monitoring electrolytes. Grounds the companion’s guidance that prolonged fasting belongs under medical supervision.
