What do you think if you say that it's important not to eat twice a year for two days in a row to keep your immune system healthy?

According to a research team at the University of Southern California in LA, periodic long-term fasting, that is, not eating for two to four days in a row, protects the immune system from damage, especially for people with immune disorders. It was revealed that it not only promotes the regeneration of the immune system.

Walter Longo, a professor of geriatrics and biology at the University of Southern California's Davias School of Geriatrics and representative of the school's longevity research institute, observed the effects of fasting in both mice and humans and found that these mammals were Observations showed that the number of white blood cells decreased when fasted.

As a result, the subject's body "recycles" old immune cells, thereby inducing the production of new immune cells to replace the old ones. For a long time, immune cells may be exhausted and stop functioning at their best.

Previously, it was thought that there was little other way to overcome this problem than to treat stem cells.

But according to this latest study, periodic fasting actually turns on something like a regeneration switch in the body, altering signaling pathways for hematopoietic stem cells and producing both blood and immunity. It was revealed.

> Professor Longo: "I couldn't predict that long-term fasting would have a remarkable effect on promoting stem cells based on the regeneration of the hematopoietic system."

> "When hungry, the system tries to save energy, but one way to save energy is to recycle many unwanted immune cells, especially those that may have been damaged.

> It was confirmed that white blood cell counts decreased in both human and animal subjects who were fasting for a long time. And when I started eating, the blood cells came back.

> So we thought. So where did this (blood cell) come from? "

Periodic fasting may help correct autoimmune disorders, including those caused by vaccines

The study focuses primarily on antineoplastic patients whose immune system has been disrupted due to lethal toxic therapies, and the implications of the study are autoimmunity. It has also been extended to other symptoms such as disease.

Fasting triggers the creation of new, undamaged immune cells, which can help those who have suffered from symptoms that the medical system has long described as an incurable disease.

It turns out that long-term fasting forces the body to use stored glucose, fat, ketones, and significant amounts of existing white blood cells. In short, fasting is a kind of detoxification that allows you to clean old things and replace them with new ones.

The researchers say the result is like the formation of the entire immune system.

Long-term fasting helps lower the level of an enzyme called PKA (protein kinase A), but previous studies have shown that it allows stem cells to self-regenerate and pluripotently regulate (the ability to restore damage to normal). ) Has been shown to energize and prolong life.

Long-term fasting also helps reduce levels of aging, tumor growth, and the growth factor hormone IGF-1, which is associated with cancer.

> Professor Longo "In order to switch stem cells to regeneration mode, it is necessary to stop PKA, which is a major gene."

> "Fasting causes a rapid increase in stem cells and sends an OK sign that the entire system may be regenerated.

> And, fortunately, the body removed parts of the damaged or aged system, inefficient parts, during the fast.

> And now, if you have a system that is badly damaged by anti-cancer drugs or aging, you can literally regenerate a new immune system if you start a regular fast. "
