🔥For permanent weight loss and disease reversal, we have to eat more micronutrients and fewer calories. Most Americans are deficient in micronutrients and consume too many macronutrients (calories). 🔥Adding fasting to an already nutrient-rich diet could intensify the body’s ability to heal and repair by extending the amount of time in the fasting repair mode and reducing growth-related problems. It also can enhance the breakdown and excretion of fat-soluble toxins; lowering the body’s toxic load. Intermittent fasting: 🔥Being in a fasting state shifts the body’s cells away from growth, and instead toward a mode of maintenance and repair. 🔥This repair mode is associated with a reduction in insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production; two hormones that play a huge role in health and longevity. 🔥These hormonal changes lead to reduced inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity and stress resistance, slower cell growth, improved immune function, and reduced oxidative stress. 🔥Fasting stimulates autophagy, an important self-repair process. Autophagy removes damaged components from cells and tissues. 🔥Studies over the past few years in animals and humans have suggested that fasting signals the immune system to discard old and damaged cells and generate new cells by increasing hematopoietic stem cells. The reduction in IGF-1 signaling was a necessary factor in this immune boosting 🔥Human studies on intermittent fasting suggest it improves insulin sensitivity and promotes weight loss 🔥"Juice" fasting enables you to continue to work and is safer, compared to water fasting, as it prevents dehydration, loss of electrolytes and fainting. It is also compatible for people who must remain on medications, so almost anyone can participate. (Juice=p.shake Juice should be mostly vegetables, not fruit. ) 🔥MOST IMPORTNATLY SAY NO TO Sugar and other sweeteners, unhealthy oils, salt, processed baked goods, and products made with white flour. They are disease-causing, addicting, and they lead to depression #30daydetox #nutritarian #hormones #insulin #weightloss #healty #immunesystem #longevity #aging (at Happy Hippy Family) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXr0-FBBwo/?igshid=1brp7lfzq0b4t
