let’s talk about the amazing effects of

fasting on your immune

system the benefits are amazing

especially if you could do a 72

hour fast now with most people you have

to work up to it

but even if you could do a 48 hour fast

that’s going to be huge

but definitely work up to a 72 hour fast

and do that

periodically maybe once a month maybe

once every two months but the benefits

of fasting for 72 hours

have more to do with literally growing

a new immune system here’s some benefits

number one it’ll boost your white blood

cells

but that includes the macrophages and

the neutrophils which

are phagocytes so they clean up debris

they also kill off

viruses and bacteria using different

chemicals and they basically go around

and eat

different pathogens and then we have the

enhancement

of the t cells but especially the t

regulatory cell another name for the t

reg cell

is the t suppressor cell because it

suppresses

an overactive immune system as in a

cytokine storm

as in a situation we have way too much

inflammation that’s causing a lot of

collateral damage

so fasting strongly suppresses

inflammation

so there are these things called

cytokines

and there’s signaling uh communications

between the white blood cells

that have a lot to do with inflammation

so fasting helps support those cytokines

that reduce

inflammation and then they also support

the b

cells and that has a lot to do with

creating

antibodies in developing memory

from an infection you had so you’re

ready and prepared

for the next infection also fasting will

help enhance the weapons

from the white blood cells so that way

they can fight stronger

because there’s nothing worse than

sending out an army without their weapon

tree so if you want to enhance your

immune system you will definitely want

to start doing

periodic prolonged fasting now it also

decreases something called

pka i’m not going to get into the woods

with what that compound is

all you need to know is that this

compound

needs to be inactivated for the stem

cells

to be activated and stem cells are the

things that

are recruited from various parts of your

body especially the bone marrow

to start to build a new immune system

and last but not least fasting kills

old and damaged white blood cells

through a mechanism called autophagy so

when you

fast you turn on this mechanism and it

goes after

all the white blood cells that are

inefficient

that aren’t working that are taking up

space and it actually cleans all those

up

so you can create space for the new

white blood cells

now for more information on how to do a

fast
