🧠Your Brain Can “Eat” Itself to Stay Alive
When the brain is under extreme stress—such as starvation or severe illness—it can activate a process called autophagy, where cells begin recycling damaged or unnecessary parts of themselves for energy.
This self-cleaning system actually helps protect neurons and may reduce the buildup of toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In short, your brain has a built-in survival mode most people never realize exists.
