i want to talk about autophagy and what  will trigger autophagy more exercise  

or fasting for those of you that are not familiar  with autophagy autophagy comes from the word auto  

which means self and phagy which means eat so  autophagy is not a thing it’s a condition and this  

condition is the recycling of old worn out cell  parts proteins and it’s a condition that’s very  

good for us because it’s all about anti-aging and  when we age we have a deficiency of autophagy so  

it’s very important to know how to trigger this  condition and also autophagy is very deficient  

in chronic disease states okay so what triggers  autophagy well it’s the suppression of glucose  

with the increase of ketones and this is why  fasting is probably the most potent thing to  

trigger autophagy but exercise can also trigger  autophagy why because it forces the body to use up  

glucose and it also increases insulin sensitivity  because when you exercise you’re actually lowering  

insulin when insulin becomes too high it knocks  you out of autophagy and so if you were to  

exercise for example and induce a nice spike in  autophagy which can then last from hours to even  

days it really all depends on how long you go  until you beat something and this is why it’s  

very beneficial to exercise while you’re fasting  because now you can get this compounding effect  

and so this is why i have to explain the concept  and give you additional data because the autophagy  

that’s created from exercise really depends on the  next time you eat now you might have a nice little  

acute spike but it might only last for an hour as  compared to fasting for 48 hours you are getting  

a massive amount of autophagy now the type  of exercise is very very important as well  

the amount of autophagy you’re going to  get is going to be related to the intensity  

and the amount of volume of exercise that  you do so a real small little workout isn’t  

going to create that much autophagy but  if you induce a very strong resistant type  

workout with high intensity with a good amount  of volume which also includes more stress you’re  

going to get more autophagy but on the other  hand if you do a low intense endurance type  

workout let’s say you’re going to do a jog or a  long walk while you’re fasting even though that’s  

not an intense workout that will enhance the  autophagy that you’re getting while you’re fasting  

versus if you do a low intensity workout let’s  say you go for a walk and then you eat right after  

you’re probably not going to get any autophagy from that and so they did these studies  

with mice on a treadmill for 30 minutes and so  they found an increase in autophagy from 40 to  

50 percent and then when it increased it to 80  minutes there was an increase by a hundred percent  

so if you have some um pet hamsters or gerbils  or mice definitely put them on this treadmill  

every day to make sure that they can experience  more autophagy all right there you have it thanks  

for watching i will see you in the next video hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
