AUTOPHAGY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Miraculous Source of Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n

What is Autophagy?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The concept of autophagy (autophagy: self-eating) is a miraculous system that gained popularity when Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016. Ohsumi, a cell biologist, conducted research on the functioning of the autophagy mechanism in our body at the cellular level and led to a paradigm shift in the scientific world with his discoveries. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to this mechanism, cells are renewed by cleaning themselves from damaged and residual parts. It can even be said that we survive thanks to the autophagy mechanism. Because with this periodical maintenance system that works for 24 hours, all our organs can continue to function in a healthy way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How Does Autophagy Work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The autophagy mechanism is a maintenance and repair system that works at the cellular level and is triggered by starving a person for 15-16 hours. During this period, when calories are not consumed, the lysosomes inside the cells enter a survival mode and begin to feed themselves with the old cell residues inside the cell. In other words, it collects energy by feeding on itself. With the self-renewal of cells, all tissues and organs are also renewed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Autophagy is actually a mechanism that performs its function in our entire body, albeit at a minimum level. However, due to our eating habits, this miraculous system may not work as effectively as it should. Since autophagy is not active enough, organs cannot renew themselves, inflammation increases, aging accelerates and we become vulnerable to chronic diseases. The secret of a healthy life is understanding the autophagy mechanism and making it work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With modern life, our eating habits have undergone a radical change. We eat more, we eat unhealthy and frequently. In addition, we sleep less, move less and have to deal with many negative problems brought by modern life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past, our diet was much more compatible with the functioning of autophagy. Not so many years ago, we lived in a world where weak people existed. But today things have changed. This miraculous function of autophagy is interrupted, especially due to frequent and unhealthy eating habits. Increasing obesity in society is only a visible side of the deterioration in our health. It can be said that many deadly diseases such as increasing diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and cancer are actually caused by our lifestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intermittent Fasting Method<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

For autophagy to work better, calorie intake needs to be restricted and controlled. In other words, we consciously starve ourselves to activate autophagy. Studies show that autophagy is triggered with a fasting period of 15-16 hours, and its positive effects increase with the prolongation of this period, even when it is passed every other day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aral\u0131kl\u0131 orucun birka\u00e7 farkl\u0131 uygulama \u015fekli olsa da g\u00fcnl\u00fck ya\u015fama en kolay uyum sa\u011flayan haliyle 24 saatlik bir g\u00fcn\u00fc 16\/8 veya 18\/6 \u015feklinde saatlere b\u00f6l\u00fcmleyerek uygulamakt\u0131r.

An ideal application is as follows: We stop calorie intake after 18:00 in the evening or after 20:00 at the latest. When we wake up in the morning, we do not have breakfast and we complete our fast with the first meal at noon. Therefore, this diet makes it necessary to reduce the number of meals to two. Just like in ancient times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any person expends about 2000-3000 calories per day. Therefore, if you continue to eat the same calories, you will not lose weight. In addition, we need to stay away from snacks in this short period of 6 or 8 hours. (Since snacks keep blood insulin levels high, they cause insulin resistance to develop. In this case, insulin resistance can be seen as the biggest enemy of autophagy.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the Benefits of Intermittent Fasting?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The autophagy inducing intermittent fasting method should not be seen as a new-fashioned diet program, but as a way of life most appropriate to human nature. It must become our daily routine for permanent results to occur. When combined with a healthy and balanced diet, the benefits of the long-term intermittent fasting method are innumerable. We can summarize the positive effects in the short and long term as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
