“One of the mechanisms associated with resveratrol's actions is the activation of autophagy, a cellular defense program that targets old, damaged proteins for destruction and recycling.”

“Demonstrates lactate acts as a signaling molecule activating pathways that promote mitochondrial biogenesis. Activation of autophagy in human skeletal muscle is dependent on exercise intensity and AMPK activation - Shows vigorous aerobic exercise boosts mitophagy markers in humans.”

“The benefits associated with intermittent fasting include metabolic switching, ketone body production, BDNF production, autophagy induction, and many others. But much of the research on intermittent fasting has been conducted in people or animals with poor health or a sedentary lifestyle, with fewer studies in active, healthy weight people.”

“Exercise also promotes mitophagy (the turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria, fostering cellular resilience) and autophagy (the removal of cellular debris and damaged components). Learn more about mitophagy in this clip featuring Dr. Guido Kroemer.”

“FOXO3s participate in autophagy, but when autophagic mechanisms are disturbed, FOXO3s confer cellular sensitization to apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death. Following heat stress, FOXO3 proteins form a complex with sirtuin 1, or SIRT1, an enzyme that influences aging and longevity via multiple molecular pathways.”

“I've interviewed many scientists over the years, each with their own expertise and specialty, ranging from exercise science and kinesiology to gene editing and autophagy. One of my favorite times during each interview is when I get to ask the guest about their personal routines.”

“Watch Dr. Guido Kroemer describe the autophagy-inducing effects of calorie restriction mimetics such as spermidine and resveratrol. Link to study abstract. Learn more about autophagy in our overview article.”

“In a randomized trial of 240 older adults with mild cognitive impairment, 2 grams of DHA daily for 24 months improved selected cognitive measures compared with corn-oil placebo. Researchers also observed changes in blood markers related to amyloid and autophagy, the cellular process that helps clear damaged material.”

“In modern times, fasting and exercise are behaviors that mildly stress cells. Exercise promotes resilience, stimulates antioxidant defenses, and increases autophagy, the removal of damaged proteins and dysfunctional organelles.”

“Coffee contains a multitude of polyphenolic compounds that appear to exert beneficial health effects, including quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and others. Drinking coffee is linked with reduced disease burden and increased lifespan, possibly due to coffee's ability to induce autophagy.”
