Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 1722329" data-attributes="member: 41816">[USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER]You will find a whole range of ideas and explanations about autophagy across the internet.I was looking at Wikipedia earlier and that gives a nice clear explanation of how the process affects a whole range of organisms, from yeast upwards, including arthritic knee joints.But basically the idea is that by reducing nutrient intake the body is triggered into a kind of spring cleaning, where it hoovers up unneeded cells and 'recycles spare bits'.  Yes, that is an absurdly simplified image!  lol.Lungo is not the only one who promotes it as a way for the body to deal with cancer and to slow down the aging process, and is donating the proceeds of his Fasting Mimicking Diet into supporting cancer victims and research on the subject.Of course there is a huge movement from sensible to wacky, with headlines such as 'is this the secret to immortality?'As with anything, read every web link with a hefty dose of low-calorie scepticism! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
