In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about fasting and stem cells. A stem cell is a cell that doesn’t have a purpose yet, it turns into something when the body needs a certain cell. There are certain parts of the body that can turn over cells very quickly, some would take longer and others wouldn’t. What triggers stem cells is prolonged fasting for 72 hours or even longer. The fat-burning effect that occurs in fasting really helps to fuel the stem cells.

0:00.0 | Hey guys, today we're going to talk about fasting and stem cells. |
0:03.9 | Now I hate to break the news, but you are going to die eventually, hopefully not anytime |
0:10.2 | soon, but this video is about extending your life a little bit longer and increasing |
0:16.6 | the quality. |
0:18.5 | Now as far as aging goes in the cell, it has to do with an inability to repair. |
0:27.1 | So when a cell can no longer repair, it ages fast. |
0:30.9 | Now if we can actually replace these old cells that can't repair, then we can live longer. |
0:36.1 | And we do that through what's called stem cells. |
0:39.3 | A stem cell is a cell that doesn't really have a purpose yet. |
0:44.8 | It turns into something when the body needs a certain cell. |
0:49.2 | Now there are certain parts of your body that turn over new cells very quickly. |
0:53.4 | Others take longer and some never turn over any new cells. |
0:58.3 | But the hippocampus in the brain is a part of the brain that is involved like a relay |
1:02.4 | switch with your memories and stress responses. |
1:06.7 | This is one area that you can actually have a turnover of new cells. |
1:11.0 | You can actually regenerate cells in this part of the body, thank goodness for that. |
1:16.2 | And then even beta cells, there's been studies in mice that you can actually have stem |
1:20.3 | cell replaced, the beta cell, which is, that's where insulin is produced. |
1:24.2 | And if you have insulin type one, you have some severe damage to that cell. |
1:29.9 | Even bone. |
1:30.9 | The immune cells in bone can be replaced. |
1:34.3 | Colin cells, they replace very, very quick. |
