Autophagy is a cellular recycling process that becomes less efficient with age. 🔬
As we get older, maintaining this process becomes increasingly important, which is why researchers are so interested in signals that can help activate it.
Exercise, fasting, and certain food-derived compounds have all been studied for their effects on autophagy. (Did you know that to get the full benefits of fasting, spermidine needs to be present?)
Spermidine is one such compound. This naturally occurring polyamine has been studied for its ability to stimulate autophagy, making it an especially compelling focus in healthy aging research. 🌿
