USC Study: Fasting three days renews entire immune system

"Fasting for three days renews entire immune system"
Surprisingly the gut is a major component of the body's immune system.
According to this article:
http://ecowatch.com/2015/02/26/gut-heal ... ne-system/
"Your gut wall houses 70 percent of the cells that make up your immune system."
I have read other articles that claim up to 80%. No matter what the actual percentage is, the gut is an important/integral part of the immune system and a healthy gut is crucial for proper immune system function and optimal health. Perhaps eating the right foods that promote gut health can also renew and more importantly maintain the immune system.
