Intermittent fasting, a dietary practice that involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, has been found to have various benefits for brain health. One of the key advantages of intermittent fasting is its ability to promote neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are generated in the brain. This is particularly important for overall brain function and cognitive health. Studies have shown that intermittent fasting can stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a crucial role in promoting the growth and survival of neurons. By increasing the levels of BDNF in the brain, intermittent fasting can support the formation of new neurons in regions such as the hippocampus, which...
