A study has found that a 72-hour fast may completely regenerate the human immune system. Researchers discovered that prolonged fasting triggers stem cells to produce new white blood cells, effectively “resetting” and strengthening immune function.
The process not only clears out old and damaged immune cells but also boosts the production of new ones, which could help the body better fight off infections and even reduce the side effects of certain treatments like chemotherapy.
While the results are promising, experts stress that extended fasting should be approached with caution and under medical supervision — especially for people with underlying health conditions. Still, the findings highlight how fasting could become a powerful, natural way to rejuvenate immune health.
