FASTING SLIMMING

Fasting processes

During one Lent numerous biochemical and physiological processes occur in the body. The data are very controversial because they are different Types of fasting and different fasting durations are based, it should be mentioned, however, that a change in the immune system could already be determined with a fasting duration of 2-3 days.

This led to a decrease in inflammation-mediating proteins (Haptoglobin, transferrin), to an increased activity of phagocytes (Macrophages) and increased activity of NK cells. Turning off the gastrointestinal tract during fasting is believed to be one of the main effects.
Since most of the toxins and bacteria enter the body through food, many components of the immune system are located in the gastrointestinal system. By stopping during Lent, not only will fewer toxins and bacteria enter the body, but the immune system will also be relieved. In times of hunger, the body increasingly burns the proteins that are essential for various metabolic processes. This could result in fewer antibodies being produced and the immune system weakened increasingly. However, since fewer pathogens enter the body at the same time, this effect does not seem to be far-reaching. The burning of proteins is also partly attributed to stimulating the microbiological circulation.
The same effect is ascribed to the dehydration that takes place during Lent. Not only should the toxins in the body be transported out of the body in this way, but also here the microbiological circulation should be stimulated and thus the immune system and other healthy metabolic processes in the body should be stimulated again. Numerous hormonal changes can be seen during the fast. The exact effects of these changes have not yet been adequately researched scientifically. The hormonal changes include: reduction in thyroid hormones, ACTH and cortisone reduction, endorphin reduction, reduction in the amount of insulin in the blood and insulin production, reduction in estrogen production.
