Study Finds That Fasting Rapidly Regenerates Your Immune System

A new study published in The Telegraph has found that fasting for as few as 3 days has incredible regenerative effects on the immune system in people of all ages. The study was made by the University of South Carolina.

Researchers found that fasting fires up the stem cells, causing an uptick in white blood cell production. White blood cells are the immune cells responsible for the bulk of fighting off infection. As a result, fasting could potentially bring great benefit to people suffering from damaged immune systems, such as people suffering cancer or elderly people whose immune systems are less effective due to age.

Fasting “flips a regenerative switch,” according to the research, that has stem cells creating brand new white blood cells, thus regenerating the immune system…
