There appears to be significant research indicating a dramatic drop in inflammation, improvements in insulin signaling, and a near total “reset” of immune function with fasts of 3–5 days. Abnormal and or pre-cancerous cells appear to be pushed towards apoptosis, which essentially selects for healthy cell types. In total this describes a process which should (in theory) reverse many of the signs and symptoms of aging while reducing the processes that appear to be at play in autoimmunity and cancer. In this sense, the cells of the body are like cars.
