hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

the eight major benefits from prolonged

fasting now prolonged fasting is where

you’d go 48 72 hours or longer sometimes

a week sometimes 21 days sometimes even

longer

there’s some interesting benefits that

occur when you do this the body goes

into this survival mode it’s kind of

like a physiological vacation for your

organs especially for your digestive

system because every time you eat you

kind of like shut down that system the

people that eat frequently let’s say

you’re doing three meals plus two snacks

never have a chance to get these amazing

benefits let’s start with number one you

actually regrow your brain cells not the

entire brain but very specific parts of

the brain including the hippocampus

parts of the brainstem and other parts

as well so that’s really cool I mean how

many of you could use some extra brain

cells so the part of the hippocampus

that’s regenerated has to do with memory

okay there’s like a relay switch in

there that helps you get access to your

database your memory your file cabinet

of memories so you’re able to regrow

that structure of the brain to improve

memory that’s really really cool okay

number to increase mitochondria the

mitochondria are the energy factories of

the body so you’re gonna find that your

energy goes straight to the roof

incredible amounts of energy when you

don’t eat well remember you’re burning

your fat so you are eating

you’re just not eating dietary calories

number three at Apogee this is a

condition in your body whereby it

recycles old damaged proteins okay and

other things like microbes in damaged

mitochondria so it’s kind of a good

self-cleaning action going on and you

recycle these proteins into new proteins

to build new tissue this is the epitome

of anti-aging but in order to get in

this you you want to do prolong fasting

now I do recommend doing in a minute

fasting once a month or once every other

month or even like four times a year

would be great all right next one is

enhanced stem cell production the stem

cell is the cell without a purpose

it’s not differentiated into a specific

cell yet it just sits there and until

the body says I need a new cell because

this is damaged or it needs to be

replaced and you actually get new cells

as you age stem cells go down the more

stress you have the more sugar you eat

or the more frequently you eat the more

it goes down so when you do prolong

fasting you actually enhance your stem

cell reserve your pool of stem cells and

this is another reason why you would get

younger and you would feel more youthful

because you have more replacement so

prolong fasting is a really amazing

repair action the drugs that promote

anti-inflammatory effects basically

dominate the market most of the money

and drugs have to do with

anti-inflammatories interesting

rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune diseases

just pain and inflammation this tool of

prolonged fasting is essential to

actually help someone get to the root of

why they’re they’re stuck in

inflammation a diabetic has a lot of

inflammation so if you have arthritis

bursitis rheumatoid any of the ideas at

all you need to do prolonged fasting all

of the autoimmune diseases involve

inflammation that’s why the remedy for

autoimmune whether it’s MS rheumatoid

always involved taking steroids okay

like cortisone shots or prednisone and

that’s an anti-inflammatory but the

problem is it rebounds and it creates

more inflammation destroys the adrenal

gland so this is a very safe way of

reducing your inflammation and if you

have an autoimmune condition this is

essential you can greatly improve that

condition because the effect on

prolonged fasting on the immune system

number six decreased tumor growth so

whether you have a polyp assist a boil a

fibroid you need to do prolonged fasting

to improve that situation when you get

into fasting you run your body in

ketones and tumors cannot survive with

ketones cancer lives on sugar and when

we do fasting we deplete the sugar

reserves your glycogen reserves and we

were running on ketones okay and fatty

acids well tumors

can’t live on that okay so we started

them off and also cancer lives on

glucose and al glutamate so by doing

prolonged fasting you get the starve

cancer as well so that’s another benefit

that I didn’t mention number seven

increase antioxidants your body has an

antioxidant Network okay so you have

vitamin C vitamin E zinc connect as an

antioxidant glutathione lipoic acid

there’s a whole bunch of them so when

you go into fasting your antioxidant

levels go way up why because this is

where the body repairs and it defends

itself against microbes and things like

that but zinc actually goes up when you

do prolonged fasting and zinc is

involved in a lot of enzymes that are

antioxidant your acid also goes up now

you might think that’s a bad thing but

uric acid is one of the most powerful

antioxidants in the body that your body

uses when it’s fasting so it goes up but

then it will come back down too so it’s

not a long-term thing it’s just a thing

that will spike up just because because

the body means that to clean up some of

the stuff that it’s dealing with okay

number eight cell resistance to stress

so there’s been this idea that when you

prolong fasting it’s very stressful to

the adrenals well actually it’s helpful

to the adrenals because it increases

your stress tolerance you’re no longer

running on the ups and downs of sugar

you’re basically going into this

interesting repair mode where the body

starts to increase the resistance to all

sorts of stresses and part of that is

the antioxidant level but part of us

just like if you were on chemo for

example and doing fasting your body what

your cells would survive better because

of this fact right here so the cells

become tougher okay it’s just kind of a

survival mechanism that’s established

from genetically because of years of

adaptation in the past or when our

bodies don’t eat it has to survive so it

goes into that certain mode now how do

you do prolong fasting I would recommend

you let your body tell you how long to

fast especially initially you want to

let your body kind of get used to it so

let’s say for example the first time you

try you only go 24 hours and you have to

eat that’s fine well give it more time

maybe next month start again and maybe

go to 36 hours ok and then work to 48

hours

let your body tell you when you need to

eat ok and I’m not talking about just

some small amount of hunger I’m talking

about like oh my gosh I feel weak my

blood sugars are crash I’m hungry well

of course you’re ready to eat ok just

eat but what you’ll find when you do

fasting is your your hunger goes away

and you feel good mentally and in your

digestive system so if you’re feeling

great ride the wave and keep going the

only time I wouldn’t recommend fasting

in general intermittent fasting or

prolonged fasting is it if you’re

pregnant

ok or you’re breastfeeding healthy keto

is fine but not in a minute of fasting

and the other situation that I wouldn’t

recommend prolonged fasting would be if

you’re very very thin and you’re trying

to gain weight because you’re gonna lose

some weight on this so that might be an

issue you can do intermittent fasting

maybe two meals a day but when you start

going more you’re gonna lose a lot of

weight so that’s just one one point

about that but go gradually and let your

body tell you how long to go so many

people do this they just like they start

fasting and they feel great so they just

keep going going going as long as they

can they might get upset at you hours

and then they’re ready to eat ok so over

time you can do it longer and longer and

longer but you don’t want to force

yourself what you’re living off is your

your reserve of nutrients so I do

recommend taking a multivitamin mineral

ok

I do recommend electrolytes in sea salt

I’ve had people actually pass out by

trying to do this too fast because they

weren’t taking enough sea salt

electrolytes and they just did the the

body needed that so you know make sure

that you don’t omit this when you

actually get done with your fast you

don’t want to do this huge meal you want

go slowly you want to refeed slowly

because it’s kind of a shock to the

system eating too much okay so go just

eat a little bit wait a little bit eat a

little bit more gradually ease into it a

really good thing to do when you’re

fasting is green tea naturally

decaffeinated would be good that will

really help increase your antioxidant

level and another tea that’s great for

prolonged fasting would be hoodia

gardenia and that will help suppress

appetite so it just makes it even easier

there’s a there’s a product called EDTA

you can find it online this is a key

letter I like this product because it

pulls out heavy metals specifically iron

and calcium especially if you have a lot

of calcium deposits and stiffness or

kidney stones and a lot of other

minerals but if your iron is too high

you can have a lot of problems with the

body so this is a good peel it or pull

the excess free iron out of the body so

if you took this let’s say you took it

twice a week and you just took it in the

morning and then the afternoon you took

your electrolytes that would be awesome

because this does pull out other

minerals too so we want to put the ones

back in that we want but EDTA I

recommend it to take excess calcium out

of your body and excess iron out of the

mitochondria which you’re going to find

that’s going to enhance your energy even

more it’s great for circulation it’s

good for cardiovascular function and

also mitochondrial function so it’s just

an extra thing that is very beneficial

to take but you just need to take it

like twice a week you don’t have taken a

regular basis just because it’ll it you

could pull out too many minerals so

there you have it the eight benefits of

prolonged fasting in a nutshell thanks
