Autophagy is activated during intermittent fasting. When does autophagy start? I would hypothesize that autophagy is induced around the 16 hour mark of a fast.
This also depends on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. Autophagy has many benefits, one of them is that it activates the clean up of your cells. When the body does not have food, it needs to get energy from somewhere; so it goes for damaged cells, proteins and DNA. 💀 We have cells within our body that begin to dysfunction, and they stick around causing us to age faster. We call them zombie cells — because they refuse to die.
🤬 As they build up in your body, studies suggest, they promote aging and the conditions that come with it like osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.
🥺 Zombie cells are actually called senescent cells. They start out normal but then encounter a stress, like damage to their DNA or viral infection. At that point, a cell can choose to die or become a zombie, basically entering a state of suspended animation.
😫 The problem is that zombie cells release chemicals that can harm nearby normal cells. That's where the trouble starts.
🧐 Researchers have also shown that transplanting zombie cells into young mice basically made them act older: their maximum walking speed slowed down, and their muscle strength and endurance decreased. Tests showed the implanted cells converted other cells to zombie status.
😔 🛁 One of the best ways to kill off these zombie cells is a process called autophagy.
🧼 😳 Autophagy literally means
