LOW CALORIE FASTING

This is what we do in Cumuruxatiba, LCF (low calorie fasting ), Brazil on the Cumuru Cleanse.

Sticking to a low calorie intake , average 600-800 calls a day,combined with a low number of food molecule shapes and a healthy dose of coconut water mixed up with fresh air , massage and exercise and other distractions over 7 days leaves you feeling energised and rebooted.

Science tells us one of the reasons is that after such a cleanse the cytokine levels have dropped,(see my talk on the subject of how and why fasting helps.)

There are a number of different games playing out on the metabolic field in any fasting situation.

The gut microbiome is altered.

A state of ketosis is induced.

Cytokine levels fall

There is a clear out of dysfunctional and damaged cells being recycle for their cellular parts. This could prove to be the most interesting aspect of any LCF if proved to be correct.

The hypothesis is that when exposed to the stress of calorie restriction the body goes into a recycling mode as part of its survival strategy

Dysfunctional and partially damaged cells implode and their bits used for the general good.A kind of recycling process of cellular parts.

Its these dysfunctional, dysplastic cells are more likely to become the cancer cells. It is theoretically plausible that regular regular LCF can prevent some cancers. Please note this is purely hypothetical, but the science is starting to prove it may be correct. As in all things only time and more research will tell

I am convinced This type of a spring clean may have long term health bebefits if repeated every 4 -6 months
