Energy from protein is released when muscle cells are breaking down. During a starvation period, the human brain will also divert energy from one system to another to save energy for the vital organs. The first system to shut down will be the immune system, therefore people on starvation will be more vulnerable to viruses and bad bacteria attacks, increasing the risk of getting sick.
