I'm paraphrasing because I'm not a scientist.
Slack = various sorts of resources, including immune resources.
Crud = inter- and intra-cellular unwanted buildup of proteins, failing cells, non-reversible damage, yadda yadda. It all gets torn up and coincidentally cleaned up by the body's panic for materiel.
