1- Protects neurons
Fasting stimulates the production of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that exerts various effects on the central nervous system, for example, neuron growth, differentiation and repair.
2- Induces longevity
By keeping cells more resilient, fasting slows the aging of mitochondria, which are responsible for generating cellular energy for the body.
3- Improves memory
Do you know BDNF? It also has the function of preserving learning and memory. Thus, through fasting, your memory and mental capacity can be optimized.
4- Reduces high insulin
Studies suggest that intermittent fasting reduces high insulin, helping to prevent type 2 diabetes, a disease that triggers a series of complications, such as heart attack and vision loss.
5- Reduce bad cholesterol
Did you know that four out of ten adults have high cholesterol? Well, another benefit of fasting is its ability to lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol.
Always look for a good doctor to accompany you and help you reach the level of health you want or need with fasting!
