Autophagy is the body's natural recycling system that cleans out damaged cells and renews them from within. We'll look at how this built-in process helps slow aging, boosts energy, and protects against disease, and how simple habits like fasting, exercise, and quality sleep can help switch it on. No extreme diets or complicated science — just practical ways to support your body's own repair system and live a longer, healthier life.
