Episode notes
Immunosenescence and Aging
- Immunosenescence, the aging of the immune system, leads to increased inflammation and reduced immune support.
- This makes individuals more susceptible to infections, allergies, autoimmunity, and accelerated aging.
Autophagy and Mitophagy
- The body uses autophagy, a self-cleaning process, to remove damaged cells and proteins, like a self-cleaning oven.
- Mitochondrial rejuvenation, or mitophagy, is crucial for cellular energy production and overall health.
Dietary Recommendations for Immune Rejuvenation
- Eat a plant-rich, anti-inflammatory diet full of phytochemicals to boost immune resilience.
- Choose foods with prebiotics and polyphenols, like Himalayan Tartary buckwheat, for immune rejuvenation.
