Intermittent fasting activates several fasting mechanisms that can enhance your cognitive function.
It’s been shown to improve neurological health by increasing neuron resistance to stress and promoting neurogenesis.
This process leads to better memory and learning capabilities.
Additionally, fasting can stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports brain plasticity.
These neurological benefits are vital for maintaining cognitive sharpness as you age.
