THUMBNAIL THIS
WORD OF THE WEEK: LENT
The English word Lent is a shortened form of the Old English word lencten, meaning “spring season“. Lent is the most solemn Christian religious observance in the liturgical year in preparation for Easter.
It echoes the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry.
Lent is observed by Roman Catholics by fasting (tradional), abstenence of eating meat on Fridays during this 40 day period. In addition, Catholics choose to a Lenten sacrafice “Give up something for lent”. Examples include, sweets, snacks, entertainment, social-media, and technology.

Study results
“In mice, we’ve seen that one of the effects of fasting is to kill damaged cells, and then turn on stem cells,” explains Longo. Damaged cells can speed up aging and lead to cancer if they’re not destroyed. When stem cells are turned on, new healthy cells can replace the damaged cells.

In a new study published in Metabolism Open, researchers found that fasting from dawn to dusk for four weeks has an anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effect on the proteins in a type of immune cell called a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC).
