9 Studies on 20-48 Hour Prolonged Fasting and Benefits (2023)

In this video we dive deep into the science of 36-hour and 48-hour extended fasting. Discover the latest scientific studies showing some of the key promises of why it can make sense to do a 48-hour or 2 day fast which in my opinion may be the perfect prolonged fasting length to do every so often for both weight loss and health benefits. We cover 9 studies ranging from IGF-1, HGH or Human Growth Hormone, Cancer Research, Autophagy, Immunity, the general timeline of fasting, gut bacteria and microbiome research and answer questions like when does autophagy start and much more! -- For Show Notes, Transcripts, In-Depth Citations, and other great Fasting, Fitness, and Health Resources including a Community Site: 💪Visit our Website at www.rehashfitness.com -- Visit our Sponsor: Canadian Protein ( https://canadianprotein.com/RehashFit... ) ✅ Personal Supplement Source since 2015 🥼 3rd Party Lab Tested Supplements ✈️ Free Shipping to Canada & US 💰 Wholesale Prices like Costco for Great Value -- Study Sources in Order of Introduction: Other studies referenced in previous video in the series:    • Science of 16-24 Hour Intermittent Fa...   2019 PLOS One Extended Fasting Study on 1,422 Patients: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... 2016 Autophagy Nobel Prize: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/med... 2014 Fasting & BDNF Expression: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25494... 2021 Salmonella Mice Microbiome Study: https://journals.plos.org/plospathoge... 2014 IGF-1 & Stem Cell Study: https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/f... 2008 Chemotherapy Study: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073... -- — #alternatedayfasting #extendedfasting #fastingbenefits
