[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=5) Um, it's another one of those free tools that we can just access.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=8) But fasting is even more powerful than that.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=11) Um, and there, and there is a reason why I think every major religion in the world has fasted for centuries.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=16) Because what happens when you fast is you're not putting any energy source into the body.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=22) Well, I mean, how's the body going to power itself? It still needs to be...

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=25) Even though you're not eating, your body is.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=28) Yeah. It's just eating you. So the question is, what is it eating?

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=31) Well, it's going to eat you from the weakest point forward.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=34) It's going to start to consume something called senescent cells.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=38) These are cells that are hanging out in your body that can no longer perform their function.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=42) They're alive, but they're useless, right?

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=45) 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?

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=53) They're useless cells. It's like having a company full of lazy employees. Yeah. Right?

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=57) They're still sucking on the payroll. Yeah.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=59) They're not doing a damn thing, right? What the immune system will do is eat them.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=64) Which I find it so beautiful. That's, that's crazy to me that how the body just does that.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=70) It's so divine. This is why I say it all the time.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=72) The more I study human physiology, the more I believe in God. Praise God.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/V70pNDe3UvYG/en/fasting-senescent-cells-and-the-body-s-cleanup-process?t=75) There is zero chance that this happened by chance.
