🔍Autophagy is a self-eating process that clears damaged proteins and pathogens, reducing inflammation.
⚖️Autophagy needs to be balanced to avoid promoting cancer growth.
🍽️Fasting, low-carb diets, and intermittent fasting can trigger autophagy.
💪Exercise stimulates autophagy and can be combined with fasting for better results.
🌿Certain phytonutrients like coffee and green tea can stimulate autophagy.
What is autophagy?
—Autophagy is a natural biological process that allows the body to self-eat, removing damaged proteins and pathogens.
How does autophagy help with inflammation?
—Autophagy clears damaged proteins and pathogens that can trigger inflammation.
Can autophagy promote cancer growth?
—In the context of cancer, autophagy can provide fuel and resources for cancer cells, promoting their growth.
How can I trigger autophagy?
—Autophagy can be triggered through fasting, low-carb diets, intermittent fasting, and exercise.
Are there any natural ways to stimulate autophagy?
—Certain phytonutrients like coffee and green tea can stimulate autophagy.
