Scientists from the University of Albstadt-Sigmaringen (Germany) have named a new benefit of fasting. They, according to the network edition "Actual News", said that fasting not only helps a person to lose weight, but also promotes cell regeneration.
According to Joerg Bergemann, about ten thousand DNA damage occurs in the human body every year. And if these damages are not eliminated in time, then they cause all sorts of functional losses and diseases.
The study carried out has shown that in the process of starvation, cell self-repair is activated. In addition, fasting acts as a kind of catalyst for processes that prevent cells from aging prematurely. In general, according to experts, fasting or at least reducing the calorie content of food consumed entails a number of positive effects.
However, it should be noted that fasting also needs to be done properly. For example, the popular intermittent fasting, according to American experts, can lead to negative consequences. It will not be possible to lose weight especially with the help of this method, and the danger for the muscles can be very tangible.
