Effect of Intermittent Fasting Among Adult Population

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Our study aims to assess the effects of intermittent fasting among the healthy population.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Research needs to be conducted to find the effects of intermittent fasting on humans as it might not have the same favorable effects on the memory of a human brain compared to mice. This study will also help to assess the consequences of different intermittent fasting regimens on different individuals (based on age, sex, body mass index , memory status and physical activity etc)
