Autophagy - by Mark Evans (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Believe it or not if you're looking for anti-aging solutions, faster healing, fat burning, and obtaining physical peak performance, then diets and exercise shouldn't be your main solution.

Think about it.

Can you clean up your body by stuffing it with more food when its natural systems are already overloaded? Exercises and body building isn't really about building your body. When your cells are already full of gunk and unwanted material they don't need more nutrients to get cleaned. They need less.

Body building, lifting weights, running, doing lots of cardio, and working out in the gym destroy muscular tissue. They're not about healing. The real body building actually happens after your workout.

When does the actual healing take place?

It occurs during a process called autophagy.

Autophagy is a state that the body enters where healing and recycling occurs. And it all happens in the cellular level. It is deeply rooted in our bodily systems. The good news is that the process of autophagy can be induced and it can be sustained.

We will go over the pros and cons of autophagy and fasting (intermittent fasting to be exact). On top of that we will also cover other options and whether they are for you or not.

The best way to induce or to kick start this process, according to experts, is through fasting. No doubt about it. During fasting the body enters a "self-eating" mode-which is what the word "autophagy" literally means.

But that is not the only thing you can do to kick start the process and sustain it in the long run.

This book covers what happens to the body during the fasting state. We will go over the underlying processes when you fast. We will also go over what makes fasting difficult during the first few hours and how other people can go on fasting and still stay strong and active despite being in a fasted state for more than 24 hours.

We will also go through what you can do to induce autophagy without fasting as much. The book also covers the pros and cons of each of these options for you. This book also provides step by step guides so you can try the different autophagy triggers safely.

Just remember that the autophagy inducing options may or may not be for you. Make sure to check with your doctor before you try any of them. This book is intended as an informative guide but not an overwhelmingly technical one-you don't have to be a medical student/practitioner to get autophagy working for you.

If you're looking for the next step (well, the most cost efficient step actually) into longevity, healing, weight loss, detoxification, mental, and overall health, then autophagy may be the solution that you have been missing all this time.
