Fasting and brain health

The effect of fasting is positively reflected on brain health, as confirmed by a number of medical research, as it activates cognitive functions and stimulates rapid learning, as it improves memory, in addition to activating and strengthening brain cells at the best state.  Mental activity increases when feeling hungry and decreases when feeling full.  Of course, some may experience a “food coma” when eating a fatty meal rich in fat. In fact, it may result in a feeling of laziness and unwillingness to move, but what about the opposite?  Do you, when you feel hungry, suffer from fatigue and laziness, do I doubt that?  Your senses are probably overstimulated and mentally sharpened, and thinking that food makes you focus better is not true.  Studies have also proven that the sharpness of the mind does not decrease with fasting, and one study of them compared the performance of cognitive tasks when regularly fasting, they had a higher concentration rate, while the results proved the opposite in people who do not regularly fast, always reducing that fasting leads to a feeling of fatigue, but the opposite, the  Fasting has the effect of stimulating the brain.  Fasting has an effect on the growth of new neurons from stem cells, as it affects large parts of the brain and plays a role in regulating appetite, glucose metabolism, involuntary control of the heart, blood vessels and digestive system. Fasting has an effect on neurodegenerative diseases: Studies that have been conducted have noted that fasting reduces  From the deterioration of neurons that occurs with age and becomes symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.  Fasting helps you to restrict the amount of calories you eat, especially when you regularly exercise, and in a study conducted on 50 elderly people, it showed that they had an improvement in memory test.  In fact, there is an inverse relationship between insulin level and memory, and the more you are able to lower your fasting insulin, the more improvement there will be in memory. Increased body fat is also associated with lower mental abilities, and researchers have linked a higher body mass index (BMI) to lower blood flow.  To the brain and this affects the work of the brain.  Fasting provides you with a way to reduce insulin and reduce calories and thus improve brain function. Fasting also prevents Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s results due to the accumulation of proteins. Symptoms are closely related to the accumulation of certain forms of proteins such as amyloid plaques and neural network. It is believed that abnormal proteins destroy communication.  Between memory and areas of perception in the brain.  Being overweight also results in premature aging.  Certainly, the benefits of fasting are great. It reduces weight, diabetes, kidney disease, nerve damage, strokes, and cancer, thus preventing the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Fasting helps develop brain cells: Fasting develops brain cells because it helps the body get rid of toxins in damaged cells and molecules that are linked to neurological diseases.  Fasting increases a protein known as DFB that prevents neuronal damage that results in death because a decrease in BDF protein has been linked to Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other cognitive disorders. Fasting stimulates the production of new cells in the brain known as the process of neuron production, and dramatically improves cognitive abilities. Fasting stimulates the functions of  Brain A 2015 study in Neuroscience revealed that fasting has a tremendous potential for brain health as it promotes neuronal growth, aids recovery after a stroke or other brain injury, and enhances memory performance. Fasting improves memory Fasting improves the ability of our neurons to repair DNA.  .  But why does DNA need to be repaired? Because ultraviolet rays and different types of radiation negatively affect DNA.  As a result of improved DNA and with more neurons, pathways (or synapses as they are called) are more active, thus improving learning and memory capacity.
