“doing a prolonged fast can basically cause organs to shrink inside of animals during the fasting phase and that is due to a variety of factors one cell size is shrinking two cells are dying and what vaulter is shown is that preferentially damaged old cells die and this then can basically during the refeeding phase causes stem cells to proliferate and to replace all those cells that were lost and so that the organs that shrunk regrow and their regrowing with healthy new young cells.”
