Episode notes
Pineapple's Bromelain Activates Autophagy
- Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that catalyzes cellular reactions to activate autophagy throughout the body.
- Bromelain helps clear artery plaque, improve skin texture, and may kill breast cancer cells by stimulating autophagy.
Protein Intake Inhibits Autophagy
- Amino acids from proteins inhibit autophagy by activating the mTOR growth pathway, the opposite of autophagy.
- To stimulate autophagy, keep amino acid intake low, which can be achieved by fasting or reducing protein intake.
Turmeric Curcumin Enhances Mitophagy
- Turmeric's curcumin increases mitophagy, the autophagy of mitochondria, which increases energy and detox capacity.
- It also helps remove dysfunctional mitochondria that could become cancer cells, promoting healthy aging.
