The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) will host the next lecture from the series \u201cLCSB on Tour<\/a>\u201d in Beringen in collaboration with the municipality of Mersch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lecture, Prof. Jochen Schneider<\/a>, Head of the Medical Translational Research group and Dr. B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Hansen<\/a>, will present various fasting methods, including Buchinger fasting, intermittent fasting and the fasting mimicking concept. They will shed light on the positive effects of fasting on the human body and various diseases and the biological mechanisms behind it – from cell cleansing to anti-inflammatory processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will be given in German <\/strong>(no translation will be available on site). Registration is recommended but not compulsory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fasting has been part of various cultural and religious traditions for centuries – but what does science have to say about it? In this lecture, Prof Jochen Schneider and Dr B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Hansen present various fasting methods, including Buchinger fasting, intermittent fasting and the fasting mimicking concept. They shed light on the positive effects of fasting on the human body and the biological mechanisms behind it – from cell cleansing to anti-inflammatory processes. In addition, they provide an insight into current research findings that investigate how fasting affects chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s, arthritis and long COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
