Doctors Hide It From You! This Is What Happens When You Stop Eating For 36 Hours

Summary

The video discusses the powerful role of autophagy, a natural process where the body eliminates damaged cells and regenerates healthier ones. By fasting, autophagy is activated, aiding in immune system boosting, fat burning, and reducing risks of chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The video also highlights how certain foods, such as avocado, coffee, green tea, olive oil, and turmeric, can enhance the effects of fasting and autophagy. Viewers are encouraged to incorporate fasting and these foods to optimize their health and promote self-healing.

Takeaways

• 💊 A chronic disease diagnosis can make people feel limited to just medication, but the body has natural healing mechanisms.
• 🧬 Autophagy is the body’s natural process of cleaning out damaged cells and regenerating newer, healthier ones.
• 🔄 Autophagy occurs when the body is in a fasting state, where cells begin recycling and expelling harmful components like viruses and cancerous cells.
• ⏳ Fasting triggers various benefits: by 12 hours, ketones are produced, enhancing brain function and mental clarity.
• 📉 After 13 hours of fasting, growth hormone increases, slowing aging, burning fat, and improving testosterone levels in men.
• 🔬 Studies show fasting for 13 hours daily reduced breast cancer recurrence by 64%, even without dietary changes.
• 🛠️ Fasting for 17+ hours stimulates cell repair and eliminates aging cells, while a 72-hour fast can reset the immune system.
• 🥑 To maximize fasting benefits, break the fast with foods like avocado, coffee, green tea, olive oil, and turmeric, which support autophagy.
• 🌿 Organic and clean food sources are crucial to ensure fasting stimulates autophagy without adding toxins to the body.
• 📆 Different fasting durations have varying effects: 72-hour fasts for immune system resets, 36-hour fasts for weight loss, and 24-hour fasts weekly for overall health benefits.

Q & A

What is autophagy, and why is it important for health?

Autophagy is a natural cellular process where cells break down and recycle their own components. It's essential because it helps the body clean out damaged cells, regenerate newer healthier ones, and remove harmful cells that could lead to aging or diseases like cancer.

How does fasting trigger autophagy in the body?

Fasting triggers autophagy by putting the body in a state where it is no longer receiving nutrients, forcing it to clean out and repair damaged cells. This process starts around 8 hours into fasting and continues to intensify as the fast progresses.

What are the benefits of fasting for 24 hours?

After fasting for 24 hours, the body resets its gut, regenerating intestinal stem cells that repair the inner lining. This gut reset helps improve digestion and overall gut health.

Why is a 3-day water fast recommended twice a year?

A 3-day water fast, done twice a year, can help eliminate aging or potentially harmful cells, including those that could become tumors. It provides a complete reset of the immune system and enhances cell regeneration.

What happens in the body during a 36-hour fast?

During a 36-hour fast, the body begins to burn stubborn fat, especially around the belly, for energy. This type of fast is often recommended for people looking to lose weight.

How does growth hormone affect the body during fasting?

Growth hormone increases during fasting, particularly after 13 hours. It plays a significant role in slowing the aging process, burning fat, and, in men, increasing testosterone levels by up to 1,300% in a 15-hour period.

What are some recommended foods to eat after breaking a fast?

Some recommended foods to break a fast include avocados, which help eliminate the hunger hormone, organic coffee to boost autophagy, green tea for its neuroprotective effects, olive oil for its benefits against Alzheimer's and cancer, and turmeric, which contains curcumin that stimulates autophagy.

Why should coffee and olive oil be organic when used to boost autophagy?

Coffee and olive oil should be organic to avoid introducing pesticides and toxins into the body. Non-organic versions may counteract the benefits of autophagy by adding harmful substances, while organic versions help stimulate the process.

What role does turmeric play in autophagy?

Turmeric, particularly its active component curcumin, increases autophagy in pancreatic cells and promotes the death of unhealthy cells. It can also inhibit the growth of certain diseases by stimulating autophagy.

How does fasting improve mental clarity?

Fasting improves mental clarity as the body begins to produce ketones after 12 hours, which the brain uses as an energy source. This enhances cognitive function and reduces feelings of hunger, leading to improved focus.
