Today I’m going to share with you the only food that will not break a fast. When you look at the actual definition of fasting, it’s basically the absence of food. You’re not eating anything. 

One of the biggest benefits of doing a fast is autophagy. Autophagy breaks down things that shouldn’t be there, and it turns those things into building blocks to make new tissue. It’s very anti-aging and can be beneficial for a variety of conditions. Autophagy is very therapeutic, and one of the biggest triggers is fasting. 

Plants that are rich in phytochemicals can actually enhance autophagy and not inhibit it. When you consume raw cruciferous vegetables, you’re triggering autophagy. 

The autophagy benefits from both fasting and phytonutrients in cruciferous vegetables could help:
• Remove damaged proteins from the body
• Increase stress resistance 
• Stabilize genes 
• Extend your life

You may want to experiment with this. Try different cruciferous vegetables like broccoli sprouts, cauliflower, or kale during your fast and evaluate your results.

You know, it's funny (in an amazing way), but when my Dad had cancer, the treatment made him so nauseous and uninterested in food that he just couldn't keep anything down/didn't bother eating. We were told to make sure he drank water all day, sipping from a water bottle which should always be next to him. The cancer nurse said people usually die accidentally due to dehydration caused by the treatment. Anyway, he didn't eat normally for a long time. Months really. He (6'2") went from a chubby 230 to a lean mean 160. He got rid of his cancer, his diverticulitis, hives, hair loss, etc. It was amazing. He looked 30 years younger. He lived for another 26 years. He died in 2015 at age 93.Must have been the autophogy. Thanks Dr. Berg.

Growing my own vegetables, I can pick fresh kale and other greens with flowers and make a salad with some protein to prolong my work on the farm before I eat a full meal. I am 80 and cut grass with a scythe for 2 or three hours each day.

Thank you Dr. Berg! I am now down 52 pounds, my symptoms of diabetes are long gone as is my high blood pressure. Life feels good again!

Our bodies have the capability to heal from all these diseases that we have, through the food we eat we just need to educate ourselves on how to do it and people like you are helping us to do so, thank you DR!!!

I just recently had chemo and then radiation therapy. The doctors were surprised at how well I did in terms of not having bad side effects. I was eating keto and doing intermittent fasting. Maybe that's why.

This information is so good. My wife is so hooked on the benefits of cruciferous veggies, that she now runs a thriving Microgreens business. She's so much healthier than ever and has been off all meds for about a year now.

I'm going into day 5 of a water fast. Feel amazing. Down about 7 lbs. I feel so good that I am thinking of extending it a few days beyond 5 which would definitely be the max for me. I've only ever done 5 days and they were always a bit of a struggle the first 2 days but for some reason this one has been easy. Watching all these videos for motivation. Thank you Dr. Berg, your info is invaluable.

Before watching Dr. Bergs videos I did never heard of autophagy and now here I am doing my first prolonged fast. Having 52 hours of 72 done. Will repeat it for sure! Thanks

I’m so thankful for your videos! What inspired me a lot was a story of an overweight girl that came to your office and didn’t loose any weight for a month but was not upset because she was feeling great. After that she started to loosing the weight. This is how I’m trying to look at your guidance. I’m not loosing the weight yet but I can feel I’m healing. I have more energy and slept through the night for the first time in years! It took me more then a month to actually achieve IF. But since I did things are changing even tho I’m going through very difficult time of my live with moving, starting a new job and some personal problems. I don’t think I could handle so much physical and emotional strain if it was not for you.
Thank you again 🙏

Right! I love cruciferous vegetables steamed and drizzled with olive oil, lemon and Himalayan salt 👌🏼 next week I’m gonna eat just cruciferous veg. It’ll be a great detox and reset. Who’s with me?

Fasting is really calming and relaxing.🥰

I have been doing a 17 hour a day fast 7days a week for 9 months. Besides going from 225 to 185... I am amazed how much better I feel in every possible way. I am 67 and it has done wonders....The fountain of youth is two things...1) intermittent fasting AND 2) daily exercise of one hour per day.
