Researchers have found that exercise and fasting may help the body’s cells remove defective proteins, a process that could support healthier cellular function and reduce the accumulation of damaged proteins.
How the process works
Cells constantly produce proteins that perform essential functions. Some proteins, however, can become damaged or misfolded and need to be removed. When these defective proteins accumulate, they can interfere with normal cellular processes.
The study indicates that periods of physical activity and fasting can stimulate mechanisms that help cells identify and clear unwanted proteins.
Why exercise may matter
Regular exercise places controlled stress on the body and triggers a range of cellular responses. These responses can encourage cells to strengthen their internal maintenance systems, including processes involved in breaking down damaged or unnecessary proteins.
This provides another potential explanation for why regular physical activity is associated with several aspects of better health.…Keep reading the full & the viral video now.
