So apparently the main risk from long fasts comes from mineral difficiency. If someone starts eating after a long fast and does not have sufficient potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium within their tissues in reserve and get none slowly from food intake, blood serum levels drop and the heart stops as the body tries to digest new food.
Also thiamin and B vitamins. Think it's B2 is another main one that becomes depleted.

yep you skimmed right by my earlier message about sodium and potassium, has to do with one of the exchanges related to the heart pumping.. There is drops you add to water keto drops or something, so that your water provides you those necessary vit/mins. Fast wisely.
You probably already know, but just in case, try to ease back into food with some broth type meals first when your done fasting.
