2. IF 23:1 Protects Brain Health

A growing body of research highlights the neuroprotective role of intermittent fasting for prevention of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

The fasting-induced ketosis provides brain cells with an efficient energy source while enhancing cognitive function through increased BDNF. Intermittent fasting also reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in brain regions susceptible to age-related decline.

Animal research reveals intermittent fasting protects against neurotoxins, preserves learning capacity, and prevents seizure incidents. The metabolic adaptations shield the brain from dysfunction and deterioration over time.
