Are you looking for ways to feel younger, healthier, and more vibrant?
Stem cells are your body’s natural repair system, but their activity can decline with age.
This article summarizes seven simple, natural, and inexpensive methods to stimulate your stem cells, based on the advice of Dr. Eric Berg.
1. Try Fasting to Trigger Autophagy
Prolonged fasting for 72 hours can significantly boost your stem cells. This process triggers autophagy, where your body recycles damaged cells into new ones.
Intermittent fasting is also beneficial, though less potent. Fasting primarily benefits the gastrointestinal tract, brain, and immune system.
2. Engage in High-Intensity Exercise
Intense, full-body exercise stimulates stem cells for your muscles and brain. It increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which helps create new nerve cells.
This type of exercise also helps repair the inner lining of your arteries, improving cardiovascular health.
3. Prioritize Deep, Quality Sleep
Getting enough deep sleep increases melatonin, which boosts stem cells for the brain. It also reduces the stress hormone cortisol.
Quality sleep strengthens your immune and cardiovascular stem cells, aiding in heart repair.
4. Drink Green Tea for Its Phytonutrients
Green tea contains the phytonutrient EGCG, which is anti-inflammatory. It increases stem cells for your brain and liver.
EGCG also has the added benefit of decreasing stem cells associated with cancer.
5. Consume Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil and cod liver oil, are anti-inflammatory. They directly increase stem cells for your bone, cartilage, brain, and skin.
Including these healthy fats in your diet can support overall regeneration.
6. Get Enough Vitamin D and Sunshine
Both sun exposure and Vitamin D supplements are crucial for increasing stem cells. Vitamin D helps maintain blood stem cells for your immune system.
It also prevents the exhaustion of stem cells in your brain, muscles, and immune system.
7. Embrace Cold Therapy
Cold immersion, such as ice baths or cold showers, stimulates brown fat stem cells and boosts BDNF. This aids in muscle repair and reduces inflammation.
Cold therapy can also improve cognitive function and mood.
By incorporating these seven methods into your lifestyle, you can naturally boost your body’s regenerative capabilities.
These simple yet powerful strategies can help you feel your best.
