intermittent fasting and autophagy

Intermittent fasting is a dietary pattern in which one cycles between periods of eating and fasting. It involves restricting the time window for eating, typically by skipping breakfast or dinner, resulting in prolonged periods of fasting. Autophagy, on the other hand, is a natural cellular process where the body breaks down and recycles damaged or dysfunctional cells and organelles. It is believed to have various health benefits, including improved cellular function and protection against age-related diseases. When combined, intermittent fasting can trigger autophagy in the body, promoting cellular rejuvenation and enhancing overall health and well-being.
