Autophagy

The dictionary defines autophagy:

The Bible is one place says, “We are fearfully and wonderfully made.” It is amazing the way our bodies work. They not only grow from conception into a living house for our mind and our spirit to inhabit they have the ability to repair themselves. The liver, one of the most vital organs in the body, has to ability to heal it self and indeed through the process of autophagy the body has the ability to clean up all the broken and damaged cell parts and create from them new materials to “built back better.” Talks about your infrastructure improvement programs, autophagy is the granddaddy, the grandmama, of them all.

And all we have to do to turn up the process in our bodies, that is always going on to a lesser degree, is to deplete our resources by fasting, intermittently or for a longer periods of time. Fasting isn’t just good for the soul it is good for the body too. It triggers our body to use up broken proteins, pathogens, viruses, and to reset our body, so to speak, back to it’s factory settings with the new raw materials to build new cells in all of the crucial and critical structures.

The encouraging word for today is autophagy or as I like to think of it – Amazing.
