Intermittent Fasting May Improve Memory, Executive Function, Early Trial Suggests (www.medpagetoday.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://midwest.social/post/15336685

Intermittent calorie restriction improved executive function and memory measures in cognitively intact older adults, an exploratory pilot study suggested.

The 8-week randomized clinical trial of 40 overweight, cognitively normal older adults with insulin resistance examined the effect of two interventions -- a 5:2 intermittent fasting plan versus a "healthy living" diet based on portion control and calorie reduction guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- on brain health. The 5:2 intermittent fasting group had 2 days of food intake of 480 calories/day (two meal replacement shakes), and 5 days of a healthy living diet.

Both interventions improved executive function and memory, with intermittent fasting showing better results on certain cognitive measures, said Dimitrios Kapogiannis, MD, of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, in a poster presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.

this is far to complicated a matter for governments to solve. we should form a working group to explore the issue and make some recommendations. in the mean time its best if people continue to mulch pooly labled plastic so as not to impact any suppliers profits. We all know the cause of this polution problem is the greens party. /s remember the names of the people who do not act in our interests.
