What Happens to Your Body During a 7-Day Fast? #fasting #health

Can a 7-day water fast reduce your risk of cancer by 70%? In this clip, a longevity expert discusses the idea that prolonged fasting may trigger cellular processes such as autophagy, which help the body recycle damaged cellular components. Some research suggests fasting may influence pathways involved in cell maintenance, but the evidence is still developing. Importantly, there is no established human evidence that a 7-day water fast reduces lifetime cancer risk by 70% or selectively eliminates cancer cells. Prolonged fasting can also carry significant health risks and should not be undertaken without medical supervision. The bigger takeaway: Fasting and cancer prevention are areas of ongoing research, but claims of dramatic cancer-risk reduction are not supported by current clinical evidence.
