Studies exploring fasting-mimicking diets for IBD have produced promising results.

If you have inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn's, you may be curious

about the benefits of fasting for your condition.

There's a lot of buzz around the many benefits of fasting for different health

conditions. It's been shown to be beneficial for blood sugar levels, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis,

asthma, and other conditions where inflammation is at play. But fasting and fasting mimicking diets appear to have mixed results in IBD. A fasting

mimicking diet shows promise, whereas certain types of fasting, like alternate day fasting and

time restricted fasting may make symptoms worse. So today, I'm going over what research is coming

out with regarding all this and what fasting mimicking actually is. You guys are listening to

The Digest This podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron. Let's get right into the episode.

Did you guys know that vitamin C is more than just a boost to the immune system? It plays a critical role in many of the

body's functions and is a powerful antioxidant. It also aids in tissue regeneration, the absorption

of iron, and production of collagen.

It also has been shown to fight oxidative stress and cancer, support oral and brain health,

manage stress, increase nutrient availability, improve energy levels, combat weight gain,

and reduce the risk of a stroke, among so many other things.

In fact, humans are the only mammals that don't make their own vitamin C. So this means we must

get it from our diets and or supplements. However, most vitamin C supplements are nothing more than asorbic acid,

which is one fraction of the vitamin C compound. And most asorbic acid is derived from GMO corn

and highly processed in a lab. But the vitamin C capsule I personally have been taking for over a year are from Paleo Valley.

Paleo Valley's essential C complex contains the most concentrated sources of natural organic vitamin

C on the planet made from whole food sources like unripe acerola cherry, camu camu, and amla berry.
