Water: depends on your climate, but in a comfortable climate where you're not required to do a lot of strenuous activity, perhaps a week to 10 days. In a hot climate, this would drop down to 3-5 days. In a desert environment, this could drop down as low as 24 hours.
Food: if you have liquid nutrients, you can go a long long time without food. If you don't - if you only have pure water - you will die without food in a month to 2 months. Sooner if you are exposed to illness at all, because without vitamins and nutrients, you have no way to counteract anything that hits you.
Both of these are miserable ways to die, not that there are any wonderful ways...

You need to have water inside you, you can last a week or so without food but without water, well, you dont stand a chance within 2 or 3 days tops. You would just completely dehydrate and die. but remember, food has water in it too so, depends how much you had of each.

3 to 5 days without water, 3-12 months without food depending on how fat you are.

Most people could last more than a week without food. You would be lucky to last any more than a few days without water.

Without water you will die in a short time, but why would you want to die? Life is a precious gift from God.

My dad lasted about per week and not using a drink - he kicked the bucket in June from lung cancer. i'm sorry on your difficulty, its poor to exhibit screen someone bypass like this. Take care. EDIT. The district nurses gave us some swabs - sponges on sticks. I used to dip those in water or juice and swab my dads mouth and lips so he a minimum of had moisture and his mouth does no longer bypass too dry. He couldn't drink although. AyuDoll - notwithstanding your answer ability properly this man or woman heavily isn't able to take any fluids or solids. the guy heavily isn't lacking ingesting or eating - their body merely would not want the sustenance now via the undeniable fact that is slowing down in direction of lack of existence. at the same time as someone stops eating and then ultimately ingesting that is extra stressful and terrible for the human beings being concerned for the demise man or woman than that is for the guy themselves. hi Bombastic. at the same time as my dad become demise this become the only component that disillusioned me the most - I spent the week he did not eat or drink crying my eyes out. The docs and nurses defined that this become area of the demise procedure and that his body become shutting down and that he merely does no longer want nor want any solids or fluids. i ought to admit i become grateful for the swabs although so i might want to swab his mouth and keep it moist. And no he did not come decrease back to inform me - notwithstanding I want he might want to.

You can live longer without food than water. I don't recommend experimenting to find out.
