With the growing curiosity about fasting practices, many are asking: What will happen if you don't eat anything for 5 days? The idea of ​​fasting, especially for extended periods like 5 days, generates both interest and concern. However, beyond simple weight loss and fat burning, the goals behind this practice range from stem cell activation to improved longevity and overall well-being. But how do these goals translate into real changes in the body? INTERMITTENT FASTING: Eat less to live longer. This approach sums up the philosophy behind extended fasting, suggesting that periods of non-ingestion can have significant health benefits. By stopping food intake for 5 days, our body begins a complex adaptation process that affects everything from metabolism to cell renewal, through cognitive and digestive changes. The potential benefits of not eating for such an extended period are varied. They include not only stem cell activation and improvements in longevity, but also a series of internal processes that contribute to cell cleansing and renewal. But how exactly does it work? The body initially uses glucose reserves and, after 24 to 36 hours without food, it begins to burn fat as its primary source of energy, a state known as ketosis, marking a turning point in the fasting process. It is essential, however, to approach fasting with caution and always under medical supervision, especially if you are considering undertaking a prolonged 5-day fast. The benefits, including the reduction of inflammatory markers and the promotion of autophagy, a Nobel Prize-winning process that encourages cell renewal, are significant. Still, science is seeking to pinpoint when exactly this process occurs in humans during fasting. In addition to the obvious physical changes, prolonged fasting can positively impact your energy and health in the long term, improving the body's metabolic flexibility. This adaptation allows for more efficient management of energy sources and contributes to a better balance between muscle mass and fat, a key factor for optimal health. But fasting should not be seen as a panacea or an indispensable requirement for a healthy life. It should be considered part of a balanced approach to health, including proper diet, regular exercise, and other healthy lifestyle habits. It is crucial to adopt fasting in an informed and conscious way, avoiding extremes or uncritical adoption of trends. 0:00 There is a new trend of fasting for 5 days 1:32 Why stop eating? 3:07 What happens when you let your body rest? 4:21 What does science say about fasting? 5:05 Benefit of fasting 7:02 The super power that you can activate 8:40 You will increase your energy by fasting 10:41 You can increase muscle mass 12:36 You can live longer and without cancer 14:31 Risks of this practice 15:05 This happens every day in your body when you fast 18:29 The biggest problem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ????BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER AND ENJOY UNIQUE ADVANTAGES????: / @drcarlosjaramillo - BUY MY BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTS HERE: https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/ - PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://bit.ly/ProductosAmazonCJ https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/cat... - COURSES AND WORKSHOPS: https://cursos.anialife.com/ - LEARN MORE THE BEST PROTEINS AND SUPPLEMENTS AT SAVVY: https://bit.ly/2ML3khs - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL IN ENGLISH: / @drcarlos - Dr. Carlos Jaramillo and the Institute of Functional Medicine seek to ensure that you always have good habits and, above all, clarity about how daily decisions produce a large part of the diseases that humanity has today.
