A ‘groundbreaking study’ suggests that intermittent fasting, as detailed in research published in Cell Metabolism by the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, could potentially lower Alzheimer’s disease risk.
The study, conducted on mice, revealed improved memory and reduced hyperactivity in fasting mice, along with fewer sleep disruptions and less harmful brain protein buildup associated with Alzheimer’s.
The researchers propose that time-restricted eating might align the circadian clock, offering benefits from metabolic regulation to potential cognitive improvement for the elderly.
However, it’s essential for individuals to consult with healthcare professionals rather than replacing medical care with dietary changes.
