Zombie Cells and Aging
- Zombie cells, or senescent cells, are old or damaged cells that don't die off as they should.
- These cells contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, and visible signs of aging.
Causes of Zombie Cell Accumulation
- Two reasons zombie cells multiply and cause inflammation are autophagy and apoptosis.
- Autophagy is the body's ability to clean out old cells, while apoptosis is the signal for cell death.
Polyphenol-Rich Diet
- Eat a diet high in polyphenols found in colorful fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- These improve the body's anti-inflammatory nature, immune cell signaling, and cellular processes.
