Intermittent fasting is amazing for maintaining brain health.
Yes – we all have waste in the brain and this form of restricted eating – actually “takes out the trash” that builds up during the day.
This self-cleaning process helps detoxify the brain, clear out old and damaged cells, improves memory, and reduces inflammation.
And, if you want to lose fat, improve metabolism, and experience other health benefits all without giving up your favorite foods, intermittent fasting might be for you!
Sounds too good to be true…lol.
It’s the when of eating and not the what. It’s controlling when you eat and drink, as opposed to what you eat and drink.
I used to fast years back and stopped doing it. But with all the talk of the benefits of intermittent fasting, I gave it a try about 5 years ago. And I continue to go back to incorporating this into my ageless wellness lifestyle by doing it once or twice a week. It’s very beneficial.
Intermittent Fasting Meaning…
You eat, but in a shorter window of time. Some people call it time-restricted fasting - TRF. Others refer to intermittent fasting as IF.
There are lots of ways to intermittently fast. It can be done daily, weekly, or monthly.
Intermittent fasting is just that – fasting intermittently (periodically). It’s an “eating pattern,” rather than a “diet.”
