Researchers Discover Fasting Is The Key To The Renewal Of The Immune System

The immune system is something that is very misunderstood not only by ordinary people but also by many traditional doctors, who we depend on for health advice.

Most people resort to things like synthetic vitamins and medications (ignoring the best natural alternatives) to deal with colds and improve immunity, but the disease cycle always seems to follow.

For people with compromised immune systems, there are many natural options, and now researchers have discovered what could well be one of the best ways to reset and recharge your immune system; one that happens to be free and is believed to work even in the elderly as well.

White blood cells (right) helps the immune response, and they can be recycled through fasting, and a study showed.

Three days into a new immune system full

According to researchers at the University of Southern California and did fasting for less than three days and can be renewed the entire immune system, even in the elderly.

The researchers said that fasting helps stem cells in the body to begin to produce new white blood cells, which help fight infection.

They added that this discovery can be effective especially for people who suffer from damage to the immune system, including chemotherapy patients, who were protected from the toxic effects of treatment during the fasting period.

Flipping "switch-born"

The researchers said that fasting helps stem cells in the body to begin to produce new white blood cells (which help fight infection in the body).

"Fasting gives the" OK "stem cells to move forward and begin proliferating and re-build the entire system," Professor Walter Longo professor of gerontology and biological sciences at the University of Southern California, told the UK Telegraph .

He added that the body actually remove the parts that were damaged, outdated or ineffective during the fasting process, creating "literally The new immune system."

According to Dr. Longo person system recycles immune cells unnecessary, especially those affected, in order to generate power during fasting.

Throughout his trials, and participants were asked to fast regularly between 6-4 days over a period of 2 month.

The study was published in June, said Dr. Longo that clinical trials still need to be completed, but added that the research looks "very promising."
