How could Moses not eat or drink for forty days?

Hello Rabbi,
When Moses ascended to receive the Torah, he remained there for forty days and forty nights, and the Torah testifies about him: “He ate no bread and drank no water.”
The question arises, how is such a thing possible? And isn’t it according to Halacha that it is impossible to live without eating and drinking for more than seven days, so a person who swears not to eat anything for seven days – that is a false oath! According to science, I have also seen that between half a week and a week is the human limit of the human body without water.
I saw three explanations for this:
One explanation: Even during the days of Moses’ stay in heaven, he remained a normal human being in this world. His body required food, drink, and sleep. But God, the Almighty, performed a daily miracle, so that despite the nature of his body, Moses would manage to remain alive and fully functioning without eating or drinking. (As explained by Maimonides in Moreh Nevuchim, Part 3, Chapter 1)
This explanation is difficult, because if God performed a miracle, what is the significance of Moses not eating or drinking for 40 days? After all, God performed a miracle so that he would not have to eat, and it is as if he had eaten, and there is no significance here. Nor is it stated in the Scriptures that God performed such a miracle.
Second explanation: There was no miracle here, but an unusual natural event. When Moses ascended Mount Sinai, he was in a state of immense joy on the one hand and great concentration on the other, for the purpose of receiving the Torah. Due to his great anxiety and joy, his mind and spiritual powers grew stronger until they surpassed his material needs. The body was indeed hungry and tired, but Moses did not feel the demands of the body at all, due to his enthusiasm for the Torah.
And this explanation is also difficult, since immense joy or enthusiasm cannot change the laws of physics that cause water and sweat to evaporate from the human body. In other words, without a miracle, I don’t see how this is possible.
Third explanation: When Moses ascended Mount Sinai, his physical nature changed to that of angels. Just as angels do not need to eat and drink, so Moses did not need these physical needs, since his body was elevated until it became like the bodies of the angels of heaven. According to this explanation, he did not feel hunger, thirst, or fatigue at all, because he ascended to a spiritual level where these concepts do not exist. (This is also stated in Ecclesiastes 3:14.)
This explanation is also as difficult as the first explanation. If Moses became an angel and no longer needed to eat and drink, why is it appropriate to mention this in the verses? When it is stated that Moses did not eat and drink, it seems that the scripture wants to say that he exerted himself greatly and fasted in order to receive the Torah. If he became an angel, then there is no effort or fasting here because he has no physical needs.
I thought of suggesting that the Bible should be taken out of its literal sense. That is, Moses did not fast for 40 days, but rather a long fast represented by the number 40, which is a typological number in the Bible that represents a significant period. This link has a list of occurrences of the number 40 in the Bible and in the Sages: http://ftp.ivelt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23991 . For example, it is also said regarding the prophet Elijah: And he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights (Mt 19:8). It seems that the number “forty” is a special number in the Bible that should not necessarily be treated as literal.
I would love to hear what you think,
Best regards,
