Autophagy is the body's built-in cellular cleanup and repair system that becomes significantly activated around the 17-hour mark of fasting; it identifies and breaks down damaged cells, dysfunctional cells, and old cellular debris, recycling their components to create new healthy cells, which is associated with longevity, healthy aging, reduced inflammation, cellular repair, and disease prevention including cancer cell elimination.

Benefits of One Meal A Day (OMAD) Intermittent Fasting - Must See!Added:
Autophagy is your body's built-in cellular cleanup and repair system. It's estimated to become significantly activated right around the 17-hour mark, and here's what it does. Your body starts to identify, it begins to look for and navigate throughout the body identifying damaged cells, dysfunctional cells, old cellular debris. Then it takes these components and it breaks them down and recycles their components to create new healthy cells. This process is associated with longevity, healthy aging, reduced inflammation, cellular repair, and also disease prevention. For instance, this process of autophagy is going to go around cleaning up cancerous cells and getting rid of them, breaking them down and turning them into new healthy cells. And so, one of the reasons fasting is so powerful is because it gives your body time to repair itself.
