Why autophagy should be part of your vocabulary

I have no idea how to pronounce it, but I know it’s a good thing.    Autophagy is your body’s way of detoxifying and repairing itself.  You can boost autophagy through exercise, and (drum roll) through a ketogenic diet!  Intermittent fasting is another way to boost autophagy.  I do intermittent fasting a few times a week where I will fast for 15-16 hours overnight and throughout the morning before eating solid food.  I still drink coffee with butter and MCT oil in the morning, even when fasting.  It certainly helps get through the long period without food.

Check out this article by Dr. Mercola for more information on what autophagy is, and how to boost it.
