Much of our understanding of fasting-induced autophagy has been translated from animal studies. Autophagy is not an on/off switch — instead, it is much more similar to a dimmer that gradually illuminates as your fast duration increases past 16 hours of fasting. According to clinicalresearch, yo...
Despite popular concerns to the contrary, fasting has potentially incredible benefits to various brain functions. Perhaps the most amazing benefit may stem from the activation of autophagy, a cellular cleansing process.
Intermittent fasting is a possible way to induce autophagy. Under normal conditions, when the cell has sufficient nutrients, autophagy degrades damaged components in the cell. When fasting starves the cells, autophagy helps digest some of the cell components, to provide the necessary energy for sur...
The hard part of Intermittent Fasting, is of course, the fasting. It takes a little bit of will power, but if you can do it; you may find it to be an easier method for controlling your weight. During the Fasting window you literally consume ZERO calories or food. However, you can co...
As you probably know, intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) has many advantages. But did you know, that the immune system also benefits from it. What your immune system particularly benefits, however, are the autophagy processes (自噬过程) that are set in motion by this. Keep Your Body Temperatur...
Avoiding meals and snacks close to bedtime may make it easier to fall asleep. Also this approach – often called intermittent fasting – has also been linked to: Improved metabolic function Activated autophagy, which is what keeps our bodies from filling up with cellular “trash” (damaged mitoch...
How to intermittent fast^ So how do we align intermittent fasting with our circadian rhythm to trigger autophagy? Well, rule number one is that autophagy only occurs during fasting (source). Our daily circadian rhythm requires shifts from catabolism (breaking things down, as in digestion and move...
inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction—key drivers of aging. Polyphenols and omega-3s activate sirtuins and AMPK, enhancing cellular repair andautophagy. Phytonutrients also combat DNA damage andepigenetic aging, helping to extend both lifespan and healthspan while reducing the risk of chronic disease....
Fasting Fastinghas been employed for millennia to remove parasites from the body. Fasting does this in several ways:[xiv] Deprives parasites of essential nutrients Encourages autophagy to eliminate parasite cysts Improves immune function Doing a periodic fast for about 3 days will help to keep ...
