Don’t have time to be sick? Autophagy is the answer. 

Why do we eat three meals a day, especially when we mostly live sedentary lifestyles? Why are we told to snack throughout the day and that 6 small meals might be better? Why is breakfast the most important meal? Why, why, why? If you hadn’t guessed, I was that inquisitive child that always annoyed her parents with endless questions.
