The road to a healthier brain may not be via what you eat, but by what you don’t eat—that is, through intermittent fasting. An increasing amount of research shows that intermittent fasting can, in addition to improving digestion, help brain function.
Intermittent fasting can be practiced in various forms. For example, some people eat regular meals five days a week and then reduce their caloric intake significantly on the other two days. For others, it means limiting their food consumption every day to a specific four-, six-, or eight-hour window.
