Hello Dear,

The term "Autophagy" means "self-eating" i.e., 'Auto' means 'self' and 'phagy' means 'eating'. It is also referred to as "self-devouring". In general Autophagy is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells.

Benefits of Autophagy comes in the form of anti-aging principles. In simple terms it is a way of body's turning the clock back and creating new/younger cells.

Hope you got it!

Hello Aspirant

A process by which a cell breaks down and destroys old, damaged, or abnormal proteins and other substances in its cytoplasm (the fluid inside a cell). The breakdown products are then recycled for important cell functions, especially during periods of stress or starvation.

Hope it helps

Thank you & Good Luck!!!

Hello Aspirant,

Autophagy is the digesting of damaged cell organelles and diseased tissue for later recycling or re purposing. In simple words  Autophagy, meaning self-eating, is an intracellular degradation system wherein unwanted cargo, such as old or damaged organelles, unneeded proteins, as well as pathogenic agents, are digested and the macro molecular contents from the digestion are released back into the cytoso.
