The quick answer: Yes it will break autophagy because there are 45 calories in a teaspoon of fish oil. However because it’s pure fat with no protein or carbs, ingesting it won’t affect insulin levels or turn off autophagy.
Eliminating Dead or Damaged Cells
Autophagy is an ongoing body process, responsible for eliminating dead or damaged cells to maintain system health. Unfortunately, over time it may become less effective due to poor diet, stress or just getting older; to stimulate this process we use fasting as well as inducers such as exercise, green tea or citrus bergamot infusions such as fasting.
Autophagy acts like a robot vacuum cleaner in that it quickly cleans away debris before it accumulates and causes more problems – for instance if autophagy doesn’t function as intended, dead proteins could accumulate to form characteristic plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
May Reverse or Slow Some Diseases
Autophagy may reverse symptoms and slow or prevent neurodegenerative disease progression; however, to reap its full benefits it’s essential to understand that it is an intricate and energy-consuming process which may easily be disrupted.
As part of an autophagy-enhancing diet, it’s vitally important to consume healthy and avoid foods which cause inflammation or overload the mitochondria with unnecessary glucose. Sugar and processed oils should also be avoided since they overload it further with unnecessary glucose. Instead, focus on whole foods like leafy green vegetables, berries, fruits, nuts as well as calcium, potassium and iron as these are known autophagy boosters.
