the most scientifically proven advantage to fasting is the feeling of rejuvenation and extended life expentancy.part of this phenomenon is caused by a number of the benefits.
a slower metabolic rate,more efficient protein production,an improved immune system,and the increased production of hormones contributes to this long -term benefit of fasting.in addition to the Human Growth Hormone that is released more frequently during a fast,an anti-aging hormone is also produced more efficiently.
the only reliable wat to extend the lifespan of a mamal is under-nutrition without manultrition.a study was perform on earthworms that demonstrated the extension of life due to fasting.
the experiment was performed in the 1930s by isolating one worm and putting it on a cycle of fasting and feeding.the isolated worm outlasted its relatives by 19 generations,while still maintaining its youthful physiological traits.
the worm was able to survuve on its own tissue for months.once the size of the worm began decrease,the scientists would resume feeding it at which point it showed great vigor and energy.the life-span extension of these worms was the equivalent of keeping a man alive for 600 to 700 years !
