Detoxify Your Blood Before Starting the Fasting Month

Fasting is a way of detoxification for your body. Research shows that fasting stimulates cell division without mutation or cancer cell formation. It also stimulates bone marrow stem cell formation. It helps lysosome to remove toxins from cells. It has also been shown to slow down the aging process and improve the metabolism. When you fast, a process called autophagy (which literally translates into “self eating”) is initiated where the body recycles old, damaged cells in order to create new, healthy ones. “Parts of our cells become damaged, and that’s the garbage,” says Dr. Roberta Gottlieb, director of Molecular Cardiobiology at the Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute. “Our cells chew up that material and recycle it. Autophagy is primarily part of your recycling and repair mechanism at cell level. As autophagy spring cleans, the cells and the organs those cells are part of function more effectively. Perhaps more closely linked to detox is the role autophagy plays in the removal of various viruses, bacteria and parasites as these add to the toxic load by being toxic themselves or by creating toxic by products. Fasting also supports insulin sensitivity as it gives your body a break from the constant bombardment of food familiar to many of our lifestyles and eating habits. Taking a break from eating can allow our body to become sensitive once again to the messages from insulin. Cleanse your internal body by detoxifying your blood before Ramadan.
