Diets and autophagy part 2
We present further diets that may have an impact on activating intracellular nutritional processes. This time the sirtuin diet and the juice detox.
Sirtuin diet, also known as the longevity diet, is becoming a symbol of healthy living, attracting attention for its potential to stimulate sirtuin enzymes, key to cellular health. However, it is not only a longevity diet, but also a fascinating journey into the depths of the autophagy process, opening up new horizons of cellular regeneration.
Key to sirtuin activation and cell regeneration
The sirtuin diet is based on eating foods rich in polyphenols, resveratrol (present in red wine), and nutrients such as capers, onions and broccoli. These ingredients are renowned for their ability to activate sirtuins, enzymes key to cellular repair and regeneration processes.
Harmonious cooperation for cellular health
Studies suggest that activation of sirtuins can stimulate autophagy, creating a harmonious cooperation between the two processes. Sirtuins, acting as cellular regulators, influence the processes of autoregulation and elimination of damaged cells. This synergy between the sirtuin diet and autophagy opens up exciting possibilities in the field of cellular health.
Detoxification versus autophagy in the context of the sirtuin diet
The antioxidant components present in the sirtuin diet, such as resveratrol and polyphenols, not only activate sirtuins, but also promote cellular detoxification processes. Detoxification is a key element in the activation of autophagy, highlighting the importance of the sirtuin diet in the context of cellular health.
Juice detox has become a popular trend in the field of healthy living, attracting the attention of those seeking natural methods of cleansing the body. An interesting question is whether juice detox can be related to the process of autophagy, a mechanism of cellular regeneration. Let's take a closer look at this fascinating correlation.
Juice Detox: What's that?
A juice detox is the practice of consuming freshly squeezed juices of fruit and vegetables for a set period of time, often linked to the goals of cleansing the body and providing nutrients in an easily digestible form. Juice detoxes have gained popularity due to their potential health benefits, including improved energy, skin and overall wellbeing.
Does a juice detox have an impact?
Fresh juices provide the body with a range of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. These substances may support the cells' ability to self-regulate, repair and eliminate redundant structures, which may fit into the context of the autophagy process.
Juice detox vs intermittent fasting
Some juice detox practitioners also opt for intermittent fasting. Long-term fasts can influence the activation of autophagy, speeding up repair processes in the body. When combined with a juice detox, such fasting can provide a signal to trigger the cellular regeneration process.

I have been passionate about dietetics and cooking for many years and am constantly developing in this direction. I have completed a degree in clinical dietetics and have attended and continue to attend many training courses. Since 2020, I have been acting as a dietitian at the Alhambra Hotel and I work with the diets we prepare for you. A few years ago I was sceptical about Dr Dabrowski's diet, but I have found out first-hand what it does and I help our guests during Dr Dabrowski's Fasting.
