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.
