TWT: This Type of Fasting Boosts the Immune System

Like most diets, there are always pros and cons to each based on your specific goals…

Intermittent fasting is no different and if you’re looking to boost your immune system you just have to know how long you can push it for maximum benefits…

That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2377 I’d like to share with you the specific type of intermittent fasting that boosts your immune system and how long you should make it last – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Daily

On a daily basis, intermittent fasting between 12 and 16 hours works best for most people. Many people start with 12 hours; from 6pm to 8am.

2. Extended Fast

“Fasting for at least 3 days allows the body to start producing new white blood cells, which rejuvenates the immune system to fight infection.”  (Resource: Frontiersin.org)

3. Autophagy

Intermittent fasting promotes autophagy which helps clean up damaged cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy cells.
