Fasting and specific diets activate Autophagy and adaptive conditioning
Autophagy is the body’s adaptive mechanism of intracellular detoxification and rejuvenation; clearing away cellular debris and toxins, so that the cells and cellular components (for example, organelles, proteins and cell membranes) remain robust, restored and functional.
Recent evidence has shown that specific changes in dietary composition and fasting can reduce ageing and chronic disease by enhancing hormetic processes in the body, such as autophagy.
