Autophagy is induced by coffee. Just learned that today!
“Coffee triggers 2 phenomena that are also induced by nutrient depletion, namely a reduction of protein acetylation coupled to an increase in autophagy. We speculate that polyphenols contained in coffee promote health by stimulating autophagy.”
Also watched this video from Found My Fitness[1] recommended in another HN post today [2]. It’s an interview with Dr Guido Kroemer. Very informative and research-based info about autophagy, mentions coffee as well as fasting.
