I’m reading the article as saying that fasting and exercising is harmful.
I don’t see that in the article. Are you thinking autophagy is harmful?
Did we read the same article?
“ Fortunately, drugs are already being tested to improve autophagy. Some candidates include existing drugs approved for cardiovascular disease and other conditions, which may help speed up the approval process.
Autophagy can be induced by fasting. When cells run short on proteins from an individual’s diet, they fill the void by recycling proteins already present in cells. Exercise also increases autophagy.”
Correct. If you want to live forever, drink bourbon, eat steaks, and ride a motorcycle instead of hiking or jet ski instead of swimming.
