Fasting, Senescent Cells, and the Body’s Cleanup Process

Yes. So, so, um, first of all, I love that you're bringing up fasting. I'm a huge fan of fasting.

Um, it's another one of those free tools that we can just access.

But fasting is even more powerful than that.

Um, and there, and there is a reason why I think every major religion in the world has fasted for centuries.

Because what happens when you fast is you're not putting any energy source into the body.

Well, I mean, how's the body going to power itself? It still needs to be...

Even though you're not eating, your body is.

Yeah. It's just eating you. So the question is, what is it eating?

Well, it's going to eat you from the weakest point forward.

It's going to start to consume something called senescent cells.

These are cells that are hanging out in your body that can no longer perform their function.

They're alive, but they're useless, right?

And so- That's so funny. These are like red blood cells that can't carry oxygen, white blood cells that can't mount an immune defense, platelets that can't carry growth factors, right?

They're useless cells. It's like having a company full of lazy employees. Yeah. Right?

They're still sucking on the payroll. Yeah.

They're not doing a damn thing, right? What the immune system will do is eat them.

Which I find it so beautiful. That's, that's crazy to me that how the body just does that.

It's so divine. This is why I say it all the time.

The more I study human physiology, the more I believe in God. Praise God.

There is zero chance that this happened by chance.
