🧬 The Nobel Prize Discovery That Unveiled the Body’s Self-Repair Mechanism
Japanese researcher Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for identifying one of the body’s most remarkable self-sustaining systems — autophagy.
Autophagy is the process through which cells cleanse themselves. When deprived of nutrients, they begin breaking down damaged components, recycling them for fuel, and renewing their internal structure.
Ohsumi’s groundbreaking studies revealed that this is a foundation for longevity and resilience. By removing malfunctioning cells, autophagy guards the body against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and early aging.
His discovery illustrated how fasting, diet, and cell rejuvenation work together — highlighting the body’s natural ability to heal when it slows down and restores balance.
