Learn what intermittent fasting does to your brain. I explain the benefits for brain power performance & function as well as improving memory and overall health. Experience fast weight loss and become smarter with an intermittent fasting diet A lot of you know that intermittent fasting can provide some amazing physical benefits for your body. It can help you burn fat and keep it off while enjoying the foods you love in a sustainable nonrestrictive way. but the effects that it has on your brain, your mental clarity, your cognitive ability and in turn your productivity are absolutely incredible. And that's exactly what I want to go over today, the benefits of fasting on your brain and you mind. We've been taught that eating at least three square meals a day is necessary to have a healthy body and mind. Instead of relying on our natural hunger signals many of us have become accustomed to eating out of routine and for entertainment and enjoyment rather than out of true hunger. This has caused many people in the developed world to gain weight, body fat, and develop insulin resistance. Ironically thanks to this, fasting has emerged as a practical, and sustainable solution for weight loss, but fasting has been practiced for centuries before weight gain and obesity became a problem due to the fact that it has so many other benefits especially within the realm of cleansing and healing. One of these benefits is known as autophaghy which is when your body destroys old or damaged cells. When you constantly eat you're body stays in a building mode and it has no reason to enter this natural, regulated process of autophaghy where unnecessary and dysfunctional components of your cells are destroyed and cleared out. It's activated when you stop eating for a period of time and that doesn't mean that you have to fast for a long extended time frame. Fasting for more than 6 hours begins this cleansing phase, so you can experience the benefits with a simple intermittent fasting approach, where you fast for only 16 hours a day. Autophaghy is essentially a way for the body to repair and cleanse itself and we definitely want to allow our bodies to undergo this process because If old or damaged cells stay in your body, they create inflammation and other problems. This natural process of destroying the old allows our bodies to bring in the new. Which leads to many benefits for your brain. Dr Mark Mattson has been studying the brain for well over 20 years. He's a professor of Neurology at John Hopkins University, and he claims that fasting has been shown to increase rates of neurogenesis in the brain. Neurogenesis is the growth and development of new brain cells and nerve tissues. Higher rates of neurogenesis have been linked to increased brain performance, and improved memory, mood, and focus. This has been tested in studies that have confirmed that intermittent fasting stimulates the production of new brain cells. According to Mattson fasting only twice a week could significantly lower the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's and it can help you develop protective measures against damage from a stroke. The shock of fasting stresses the brain in a good way, much like stressing your muscles when you workout. This stress leads your brain to create new cells. The benefits of exercise and fasting on the brain are linked closer than most people think. Both increase the production of protein in the brain, which in turn promotes the growth of neurons, it promotes the connection between neurons, and the strength of synapses which are the junctions that connect your nerves to other nerves and allow them to send signals and communicate with eachother. One of these proteins that get boosted from fasting is an important protein called BDNF. BDNF has been called Miracle Grow For Your Brain. It makes your brain more resilient to stress and more adaptable to change helping with the production of new brain cells, and.

I lost my job a few months ago and I was stuck trying to make money on Ubereats several hours out of the day eating only McDonalds until I decided to stop eating McDonalds and lost my appetite and began accidentally fasting, this is when my mind began shifting I could turn my focus on like a light switch, I could pay closer attention to detail, I began to change my entire outlook on life and began understanding energy and I was unlocking so much common sense that I could apply to my like it really was a life altering experience and I didnt know what was causing it but looking back a big part of this mental shift was the stress of me losing my job mixed with my fasting and all of the energy transfers were happening in my brain instead of in my digestive system it got to a point were I literally didnt even feel hunger and I believe that if I kept thinking that thatd be enough to maintain my body, this is also when I literally felt like less of a human and more like a brain with a body and I began to find the other reptilian.

I should have watched this before i started fasting and my brain exploded. I literally thought i was going insane! Like my brain was rummaging through all my junk not just in my body but also my emotional baggage and mental issues i have had sooooo i am glad that nobody caught me in this state of mind because i probably would have been admitted to a mental hospital oh ive been in ketosis two weeks and i have been doing omad for a week and its like day five where i started going through this brain purge

For now I've only done the 16-8, the hunger is real but not that bad. I had mental clarity and surprisingly good energy. I'm looking foward to do longer fasts but I'm going slow. I just saw a comment here saying about how he doesnt drink so much water because he could lose electrolytes. I didnt think about that. I workout so if I were to do a 3 day fast, that's something I would like to think about. But yeah, taking it easy, and letting the body adapt while learning more.

My husband and I fast for 18/20 hours two or three times a week because we both feel better for it. I am 67 and my husband is 66. I save money because we aren't eating as much. When I do make a meal I use proper food not packet or processed.

I fast daily and do a monk fast every 2 weeks and have to workouts during my monk fast. I break my fast after my second light workout and when I feed Im always in a surplus and be able to gain muscle and strength

This also may be meant for adults. Because children and teen going through puberty are growing a lot, the may need to eat more or have shorter fasting windows. I don't know. They could try themselves.

Hi, I am doing intermittent fasting daily 16: 8 only having food between 1pm to 8pm. Daily I do cardio workouts and weight lifting. I am just doing for increasing dopamine receptors at maximum levels.

This is a great video, really well put together. I have been doing intermittent fasting for about two months now and all of the good points you made about intermittent fasting are definitely true
reply

Love how he cites a doctor that supposedly is an expert and then shows an article he has not written. Continues to explain his findings while showing some random article about neurogenesis.
reply

Got a question, are you allowed to drink light soda with almost nothing in it except 1 - 4 calories per 100 ml during fast? I don't think something like this would break your fast.
