 Autophagy

Heal without taking anything

The health and wellness industry has a new “fad”: autophagy, a scientifically recognized regenerative process of our bodies that some beauty gurus now link to weight loss, longevity and a more youthful appearance.

Autophagy is a natural regeneration mechanism that occurs in our body at the cellular level. It reduces the likelihood of contracting certain diseases and prolongs life expectancy.

In 2016, Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for his research into the mechanisms of autophagy, a process that remains little studied.

Their progress contributed to a greater understanding of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and dementia.

 

Autophagy is a catabolic degradation process that occurs in a conserved manner in the lysosomes of all eukaryotic cells (and the vacuoles of yeast). The term is used to refer to the degradation of cytosolic components or parts of the cell that are “obsolete” or have stopped functioning properly.

 

 

Autophagy is a process that constantly renews our cells, preventing the accumulation of waste products and components that no longer function properly. The tools that the cell uses for this are small microscopic vesicles called autophagosomes.

These autophagosomes act in a similar way to modern domestic robot vacuum cleaners. That is, they move around the cell and “swallow” small portions of the cell, as if vacuuming up accumulated dust, converting everything they find into energy and essential molecules. This process occurs constantly, at a low intensity but sufficient to keep our cells in optimal condition, until they renew all their content over time.

Scientists have linked autophagy to numerous positive health effects in humans, including anti-aging and protection against degenerative diseases.

In 2016, Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for his research into the mechanisms of autophagy, a process that is still little studied.

His progress contributed to a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and dementia.Todas las células del cuerpo humano pueden verse dañadas a lo largo de su vida. 

When this happens, they have small vesicles that move around inside them and are responsible for removing the affected components, converting them into energy and other essential molecules.

This process is activated constantly, but at a low intensity. However, it is enough to keep the cells in good condition and renew them periodically.
