let’s talk about the 12 different ways you can trigger the condition called

autophagy so 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 gonna clean up more damage in the body so the research on exercise

includes both resistent 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

gonna see more and more benefits you’re basically recycling all the little

damaged proteins or cellular machinery inside 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 autophagy in the brain clean out some of

this amyloid plaquing that’s involved in dementia all right number four sleep

this is when you recover autophagy occurs when you’re in recovery mode this is why

stress blocks autophagy but sleep can enhance autophagy then we get hyperbaric

oxygen therapy has the capacity of stimulating autophagy cold and hot

therapy because it triggers certain genes that stimulate that mechanism okay

number seven coffee I’m not talking about drinking pots of coffee because

you’re gonna get too much caffeine but it’s polyphenols that can stimulate some

autophagy and then wine which by the way I’m not recommending but it does tend to

stimulate at autophagy but it has other effects that could be damaging to the

liver alright number nine cruciferous vegetables

specifically the phytochemical called sulforaphane can trigger autophagy green

tea stimulates a certain phytonutrient that can also increase autophagy

extra-virgin olive oil has a phytochemical that has the ability to

stimulate autophagy in human studies some of these other ones are in animal

studies number twelve mushrooms shiitake and oyster mushrooms stimulate this

chemical which has a capacity to increase autophagy so if you combine all

these let’s say for example you drink a lot of wine at night okay you’re gonna

get drunk go to sleep you’re gonna sleep a lot deeper initially anyway but

of course you’re gonna wake up with a hangover so you’re gonna need more

coffee then you can go and make yourself some breakfast with mushrooms fried in

olive oil maybe put a little cruciferous vegetables drink your green tea and then

go for your daily exercise and then start your intermittent fasting and

realize that was a joke you don’t want to combine them together but if you have

not seen some of my other videos on autophagy check them out they’re on the

screen now
