Scientists Discover That Fasting Triggers Stem Cell Regeneration & Fights Cancer Research shows that cycles of prolonged fasting protect against immune system damage and induce immune system regeneration. Prolonged fasting cycles — periods of no food for two to four days at a time over the course of six months — kills older and damaged immune cells and generates new ones. Fasting shifts stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal. Major implications for healthier aging, where immune system decline contributes to increased susceptibility to disease as people age. Also has implications for chemotherapy tolerance, allergies, immune system deficiencies and autoimmunity disorders?
