Today we’re going to talk about autophagy and the effects of autophagy on infections. 

You may already know about autophagy for recycling damaged proteins. But, there is another cool thing about autophagy called xenophagy. Xenophagy targets pathogens. 

Your immune system uses this mechanism to clean up microbes that shouldn’t be there. Unfortunately, certain viruses have adapted to this. So, you may not handle all of your microbes this way, but it can help lessen the load. 

What is autophagy?
Autophagy is a condition where your body starts to eat up damaged proteins and clean up microbes that shouldn’t be there. It then recycles them into new amino acids and materials. You can trigger autophagy by doing fasting for at least 18 hours. 

A few benefits of autophagy:

• It’s good for anti-aging
• It’s good for your immune system
• It’s good to help clean up old damaged proteins that shouldn’t be in your body 

Here’s what you could do in addition to fasting if you’re dealing with some type of infection or some type of chronic systemic immune weakness. 

Take antiviral and antimicrobial herbs even when you’re fasting (capsules): 

• Garlic 
• St. John’s Wort 
• Ginger 
• Astragalus 
• Oregano
