Want to feel better?

Well, I have never fasted or gone through a cleanse, but a study in the journal Cell Stem Cell, says that fasting in cycles of 2 to 4 days revives immune cells while discarding damaged cells. Fasting prevents the body from producing PKA, an enzyme that helps prolong cell life, which in turn, "gives the OK for stem cells to go ahead and begin proliferating and rebuild the entire system," a scientist said. A researcher also said that cancer patients who fast before chemotherapy help to protect themselves from the toxic effects of the process to kill off cancer cells! Interesting! More info on that here!
