What is Autophagy (self-eating)

Autophagy means 'self-eating'

Benefits
.. Detox the body
.. Improves efficiency of system 'cleanup'
.. Improves the Immune System
.. Improves Insulation Resistance

How it Works
.. Cells in body wear out and constantly rebuilding
.. Growth and Breakdown are good and constant and need to be balanced
.. Breakdown and subsequent Cleanup is critical
.. Fosamax - this stopped the breakdown and just build minerals - no good/brittle

Balance is Key
.. Cleanup process is improved since no new fuel (eating constantly) and the body must adapt to keep building cells, blood cells, etc. and scrubs the body seeking fuel (like dead tissue, toxins, cancer, radicals). So cleanup improves and sugar goes down since not eating).

How?
1. Low carb - 50-gram range
2. Generate Ketones (lower carb range)
3. Intermittent Fasting 18/6
4. Longer Fasts
