In this video, you'll get a good understanding of autophagy and the health benefits that
it has to offer.

In this video we're talking about autophagy and fasting.
Autophagy is a word that's thrown around on the internet quite a bit and not too many
people really understand what it is.
So, we'll talk about what autophagy, the benefits that it offers you, and then how to activate
autophagy in your body.
So simply put, autophagy is the destruction and recycling of damaged and redundant cellular
components.
This function is absolutely necessary in the body in order to clean up cellular debris
so the cell can function properly.
This is also a survival and adaptation mechanism when the body is suffering from physiological
stress.
And, I don't want to say suffering but, when the body is under physiological stress.
Now, when we look at a cellular level as to what is happening there's something called
the (atopic ozone 0:58).
What it does it goes around the cell, picks up debris, damaged cell parts and then it
goes and combines with something called the lysosome.
After combining with the lysosome, it creates new cell parts by recycling the old stuff,
by recycling the damaged stuff, it creates new cell components and energy.
Now, when we look at times in physiological stress such as fasting, autophagy keeps the
body functioning by breaking down cellular debris, breaking down pathogens, bacteria,
using it's internal resources in order to carry out normal processes in the body and
produce energy.
Now, this is really cool because essentially what's happen is, as the external resources
are not there anymore for energy and normal processes, the body starts using its internal
resources and as a matter of fact, it's absolutely necessary for good health.
So, let's go ahead and jump into some of the different health benefits of autophagy.
So, the first benefit is, a decrease in inflammation.
This is super powerful because inflammation or chronic inflammation as I should say is
really the root cause of disease.
When we look at cancer, heart disease, all these different chronic conditions, they started
with a chronic inflammatory problem in the body.
So, decreasing inflammation is going to be really powerful for avoiding disease in your
future.
It also is going to boost your immune system.
As a matter of fact, Dr. Longo, a doctor I talked about on another video, what he has
done is some research that show us that with a four day water fast, a water fast just as
little as four day will actually act as a complete reset to your immune system.
This is very powerful because many, many people today suffer from autoimmune conditions.
And then, it's also going to improve the anti-aging effect on your body.
So, what it's going to do is really support your skin and help keep your skin healthy,
it's going to help reduce wrinkles, it's also going to support you if you're someone who
has lost a lot of weight, activating autophagy in your body is going to be very powerful
for reducing that loose, saggy skin.
It's also going to improve your brain functions.
Some very cool research out of John Hopkins University shows us that it's going to improve
your brain function but also act as a protective mechanism for the brain to protect you from
neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
It's going to decrease pathogens and bacteria which is very powerful in order to keep you
healthy, and it's also going to support longevity, okay.
As I mentioned up here, decreasing inflammation, preventing cancer, preventing heart disease,
preventing serious diseases in your future is very powerful.
As a matter of fact, Thomas Seyfried who's done a ton of incredible work on cancer and
how to avoid cancer naturally tells us that as little as a seven-day water fast, once
time a year.
So, a seven-day water fast, one time a year is sufficient enough to actually cleanse our
body, clear our body of pre-cancerous cells and he said doing multiple four-day water
fasts is just as sufficient.
So, that's super powerful.
And so, activating autophagy offers us a ton of benefits for clearing out those cellular
debris, clearing out damaged cells, cleaning out pre-cancerous cells.
Now, what you're probably really wanting to know is, how do we activate autophagy in the
body?
So, when we look at boosting autophagy, it starts with an eighteen plus hour fast but,
the research has shown us that as little as a thirteen hour fast will activate autophagy
in the body.
So, as little as a thirteen hour, but truly an eighteen plus hour fast is where we want
to keep our mindset at because that's where most of the research points to is, eighteen
plus hour fast is going to boost autophagy in the body and help cleaning up those cellular
debris and keep your cells healthy.
Now, the other way that you can actually boost autophagy in the body is by doing high intensity
interval training.
So, doing short term exercise that is very high in intensity and that is going to also
boost autophagy.
So, the two best ways to activate autophagy in the body is by doing fasting and by doing
high intensity, short duration exercise.
The benefits here are clear.
The benefits are really amazing.
Autophagy is an incredible tool that we can use in order to prevent disease and keep us
healthy on a daily basis.

Give this video a thumbs up, please share it with your friends, I'd greatly appreciate
that and then check out all my videos on fasting that are going to teach you how to really
get this autophagy activate.
I'll see you in the next video.
