What Is Autophagy and How It Works

Autophagy is a natural process where your body breaks down old or weak cells and replaces them with healthier ones. This helps with repair and maintenance. During fasting, energy intake is low, so the body shifts toward cleaning and recycling damaged cell parts to support survival and balance.

Autophagy increases when insulin levels drop and when the digestive system rests. This process supports cell renewal and helps maintain overall health.
  • Leave enough hours between meals to give your body time to start repair.
  • Keep your eating window simple and avoid constant snacking.
  • Choose whole food choices to support healthy cell function.
  • Avoid late-night eating to help your body enter repair mode earlier.
  • Keep your sleep routine steady because recovery supports cell renewal.
