Autophagy

Cellular Self-Cleaning and Renewal

Autophagy is your body's natural cellular recycling system—a process where cells break down and remove damaged components, clear out toxic proteins, and generate energy from their own parts. This 'self-eating' mechanism becomes especially active during fasting periods and plays a crucial role in cellular health, disease prevention, and healthy aging. Understanding autophagy helps explain many of the metabolic benefits associated with fasting and low-carb lifestyles.
