American scientists have published very interesting results of their research. It was found that periodic procedures of fasting, lasting no more than four days, have a regenerating effect on the human immune system. In particular, to increase the number of leukocytes.
Such starvation is especially useful for people with weakened immunity, in particular, cancer patients, in whom a short refusal to eat food contributes to leveling the side effects of chemotherapy. Stem cells of the body devoid of food begin to actively develop white blood cells, restoring the immune system.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the human body in starvation conditions is trying to preserve the maximum amount of energy, resulting in getting rid of unnecessary or damaged cells.
