I read about a recent Nobel Prize for medical research and simply had to share this with you…
Just think about your computer. As you surf the internet, read pages on your social media, and write a document, programs run in the background. These programs constantly remove viruses and update your computer to keep it running smoothly. If you operating system fails to install a single important update, your computer often starts to behave sluggish.
Your body’s operating system is similar to the one in your computer. When your cells function each day, a process called autophagy runs in the background, clearing away cellular waste and free radicals created by cellular processes. In addition, this process recycles damaged parts of our cells or parts that are not needed. It also breaks down by-products into components that your body uses to create new cells.
So autophagy does several things:
- It allows your cells to update continually.
- And it reuses damaged parts and materials to build fresh cells.
- New cells autophagy creates maintain critical functions like weight regulation, hormone balance, illness prevention, and prevention of signs of aging.
But as each one of us ages, our body’s autophagy slows down and causes our metabolism to slow down too.
Recently Nobel Prize winning research found a strategy that can reignite your body’s autophagy.
What did this research prove? It proved that the best way to turn up your body’s autophagy is to induce a small amount of stress on your body by creating a short-term nutrient shortage. In other words, simply cutting back on foods rich in protein a few days a week creates an amino acid shortfall. This shortfall automatically engages the body’s cellular cleanup cycle or autophagy.
When you cut back on protein-rich foods a few days a week, your cellular debris is cleared away and your body repairs its tissues and cells. This activity sends your fat burning processes into high gear.
