This is a YouTube video titled "Cleaning Up Your Cells Through Fasting" containing a conversation recorded on November 28, 2019. The discussion features multiple speakers including Ask AI Mark, focusing on the health benefits of fasting, autophagy, mitochondrial health, and dietary habits.
And I find this actually quite fascinating because a lot of religions have fasting as part of their, their religious belief system. And when you actually look at that, giving your gut a time period of rest, and when you go through these periods of, of fasting, your body starts eating up the bad mitochondria. That's autophagy. We call that the self, the body's eating itself.
So when garbage truck coming, cleaning up all the waste from your cells, which helps you renew and repair and regenerate.
Exactly.
And actually get younger.
And, and, and, and intermittent fasting can amazing, amazing things for the body.
And what is that? That's like when you eat between an eight hour window?
Yeah, there's multiple ways to do that. You can eat like, you know, 16 hours without food, eat during an eight hour window, or maybe on the weekends just have water or a juice fast or something like that. There's different ways of doing that. But when you cut back on your calories dramatically and you do that for an extended period of time, your body goes into what's called ketosis, as you well know, and then your body also starts to generate increased antioxidant enzyme systems, and it also starts to clean up and sweep the house, gets rid of all the bad stuff.
Eating snacking and eating all the way till bed and waking up and having.
Breakfast, that's the worst thing. No, exactly. Well, it's great unless you're like a teenager and your metabolism has gone wild and you need to be fed all the time because you're just growing all the time. But, three meals a day with snacks.
Is probably not the best thing. I mean, that's an important thing because a lot of people have mitochondrial issues and I personally had severe mitochondrial issues because I got chronic fatigue syndrome from mercury. and my muscle enzymes went way up and I had severe muscle aches and fatigue. And it was really working on my mitochondria by getting rid of the metals and fixing my gut and giving myself a lot of mitochondrial nutrients that really helped me recover from that.
