Study: Fasting Improves Intestinal Stem Cells' Ability to Regenerate
Intestinal stem cells are responsible for maintaining the lining of the intestine, which typically renews itself every 5 days. When an injury or infection occurs, stem cells are key to repairing any damage. As we age, the regenerative abilities of our intestinal stem cells decline. According to the findings of a MIT-led study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, this age-related loss of function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast.
