Tag: Senescent cells

According to a 2024 study on mice, intermittent fasting significantly reduced senescent cells in adipose tissue. But what does this mean for humans, and how long do you need to fast to get rid of zombie cells effectively through a process called autophagy? The duration depends on the type of fasting and your individual metabolism.

Over the past decade, numerous studies have identified natural compounds in foods that can act as 'senolytics,' helping to clear dysfunctional senescent cells. These so-called 'zombie cells' linger in the body and secrete inflammatory signals that can damage healthy tissue, contributing to age-related decline.

According to the World Health Organization, the global population of people aged 60 and over is projected to double by 2050, increasing the focus on healthy aging. A growing body of research now shows that diet can affect senescent cells, the 'zombie' cells that accumulate with age and contribute to chronic disease. By understanding the link between nutrition and cellular health, you can make informed choices to promote longevity.

In recent years, research has shown that the accumulation of senescent cells, often called 'zombie cells,' is linked to age-related diseases and decline. Fortunately, certain foods get rid of senescent cells by containing natural compounds called senolytics.
