Those living in the UK who are fasting either to achieve ketosis or for religious reasons often ask if vaping breaks a fast. The answer? Read on to find out.
Recently we took a deep dive into whether or not vaping causes weight gain. We explored the calories in vapes and whether or not the body digests them in the usual ways. The next logical step in this debate is to explore whether or not vaping can break a fast, either for those fasting for religious purposes or for those engaging in special diets.
The answer? Let’s find out.
Does Vaping Contain Calories?
Yes, vape juice and disposable vapes do contain calories. However, that is not the right question to ask.
Since we cannot digest anything taken in through out lungs, we cannot digest vape juice in the traditional sense. Think about it. If your lungs were able to process and digest food and drink, humans would not be able to drown.
Does Vaping Break A Fast?
So although vape juices do contain calories in the vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, those calories do not make it into your body. You do not digest vape juice as you might digest food.
This means that you can use your vape to get a sweet tasting treat during your fast without breaking it.
Vaping Does Not Cause Weight Gain
So although vaping does not pass calories into your body and therefore does not contribute either to breaking a fast or to weight gain, what’s the problem?
Nicotine and the act of vaping can play a little havoc with your system. If you are on a special diet, you may want to consider how nicotine interacts with your insulin levels.
Vaping itself can cause dehydration. You are expelling much of the water in your body through your breath. Make sure that you drink extra water when you are vaping during a fast. This will combat the dehydration and make you feel better.
Does Vaping give You a Headache?
Vaping should not give you a headache but, if it does, it is because you are dehydrated. Take extra water and consider water with added electrolytes to rebalance the salts in your body. The process of vaping can dehydrate us, as can some of the flavourings used to create unique, interesting vape juice flavours. Mae sure you drink enough water and you will vape happily once more.
Sweet Vape Juices Which Don’t Break Your Fast
If you are concerned about the impact of nicotine on your insulin levels then consider switching to a no-nicotine vape juice. Shortfill must have nicotine shots added to it and you can vape it without any nicotine. We recommend this both for those who are fasting and for those who want to try vaping but don’t want to become addicted to nicotine.
Otherwise, these sweet vape juices are exciting to try and won’t break your fast… enjoy!
