Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Autophagy is simply a way by which ones body cleans out the cells that are damaged so that newer and healthier cells can be regenerated.

Autophagy is a natural process for cell rejuvenation. Autophagy helps to remove toxic proteins and also provide energy for the cells that can benefit from repair.
