Autophagy: How to Boost it For Longevity and Overall Health
Give your cells an oil change with autophagy.
Autophagy is a bodily process that occurs naturally, without you knowing. What’s interesting is that what you do every day has a direct effect on it.
Auto-What??
If you take a microscopic peek into all the living organisms of the animal kingdom, you’ll find that they all share one thing. Autophagy. It’s the most basic of intracellular processes, yet it’s potentially the most vital.
Autophagy is a brilliant process by which your cells recycle damaged material into new, healthy material. Autophagy is like an oil change for your cells, making you look and feel younger.
Autophagy is that cellular maid floating door to door knocking on all your membranes asking for a cleanup.
According to a study in the National Library of Medicine, “as a cytoprotective survival pathway, autophagy prevents chronic tissue damage and cell death that can lead to cancer initiation and progression.”
Autophagy is pretty darn cool. So, how do you boost it?
