The Science Behind Fasting
The human body is so intelligent. "When we allow our body a break from processing and metabolising foods, the body looks for nourishment everywhere it can. It goes after stored fat, but it also recycles malfunctioning or inactive cells, like those old, worn-out immune system cells.[4] This cell recycling process, known as autophagy, makes room for your body to create fresh, new immune cells. Itโs similar to spring cleaning, in that you declutter your body and end up with a rejuvenated immune system. Many people, especially those whose immune system is compromised, make a concerted effort to fast for a few days once or twice every six months to reset and reboot their immune system with fresh, strong cells.[5]โ
Think of fasting as a complete internal renovationโฆIt takes so much energy to digest food, so when our digestive organs get a break, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ ๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐.
In the fasting state, the body will scour for dead cells, damaged tissues, fatty deposits, tumours, and abscesses, all of which are burned for fuel or expelled as waste.

fasting facts:
Fasting has been shown to have some powerful effects on the body with profound impacts on cellular function, detoxification, gut health, and systemic regeneration - all of which can contribute to improved health and wellness. Read on to explore some of the evidence backed ways fasting supports the body and its processes.
It can help cells become more resilient and resistant to stress.
It triggers a process called autophagy, where the body cleans out old, damaged cells.
Fasting can stimulate the production of detoxification enzymes, which help remove toxins from the body.
It seems to modify the gut microbiome, the community of beneficial bacteria in the intestines where the body hosts the majority of its immune cells and regulates hormones and neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation.
Fasting leads to changes in the intestinal lining and triggers adaptations in the neuroendocrine system (the communication system between the nervous system and hormones).
During the period after fasting (refeeding), it can activate stem cells and promote regeneration across multiple bodily systems.
Fasting also increases mitochondrial biogenesis, meaning it boosts the production of mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of cells, in neurons and other body cells.
