Let's talk about the 12 different ways you can trigger the condition called autophagy.

The word autophagy means self-eat because your cells are basically eating up and recycling,

damaged proteins, and malfunctioning organelles, or pieces of the cell that are no longer working.

Now, a lot of benefits can occur from autophagy. One is anti-aging,

number two is dropping inflammation, number three is improving your immune system,

because part of the recycling process involves cleaning up pathogens, microbes,

candida, parasites, and even viruses. But I believe that the biggest benefit of autophagy

is decreasing the risk of cancer. Because if you think about it, cancer can't actually exist

unless there's first damage to the mitochondria. So if you're going through autophagy and you're

cleaning up all the damage in your mitochondria, you basically bring your risk for cancer way

down. So there are several things that can trigger autophagy that go beyond just fasting.

Number one, regular exercise. And the key word is regular. Not like a one-time thing. You do periodic

exercise. It's regular, consistent exercise. Not only will it trigger autophagy, but it'll increase

the capacity of autophagy. So you're just going to clean up more damage in the body.

So the research and exercise includes both resistant training and aerobic type exercise.

Aerobic exercise really improves autophagy of the brain. And I'm going to put all the references

down below so you can check them out. Number two, intermittent fasting. This is the one that most

people know about. And you'd have to fast for at least 18 hours to really see the benefits of autophagy.

And if you go up to 48 hours, you're going to see more and more benefits. You're basically recycling

all the little damage proteins or cellular machinery in the side of the cells that basically

are not helping you. They're hurting you. All right. Number three, ketones. So ketones can

trigger autophagy. They also protect the neurons. They feed the neurons. They can actually stimulate
