Welcome to 60 Seconds to Understand Autophagy. Autophagy is the cell's recycling system that cleans out damaged parts and reuses them to create new, functional components. Imagine a busy city where waste is collected and repurposed so that everything runs smoothly. In every cell, this process helps remove broken-down proteins and worn-out organelles, keeping the cell healthy and efficient. When your body experiences stress through fasting, exercise, or calorie restriction, autophagy gears up to provide vital building blocks for repair and energy. This natural cleanup not only helps protect against diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration but also supports overall well-being and longevity. In short, autophagy is the foundation of cellular maintenance, ensuring that your body stays in top working order.
