Fasting has been around for centuries. In the last few years, a new spin on traditional fasting called intermittent fasting has become popular, and for good reason: not eating for anywhere from 16-48 hours (or longer) can profoundly impact your body and brain.

     Intermittent fasting promotes longevity in animals and humans.[1]
     It can improve cholesterol levels by reducing LDL (bad cholesterol) and blood triglycerides.[2]
     It gently stresses your cells, making them more resilient.[3] This includes neurons (brain cells).[4]
     It can also promote autophagy in your neurons – that’s when they get rid of damaged cells, toxins, and waste.[5] Autophagy is partially responsible for the boost in mental clarity you may experience during intermittent fasting.
If you’ve tried intermittent fasting, you know that it works…and that it’s inconvenient because you run out of energy right in the middle of your day, and you don’t enter ketosis (fat burning mode) fast enough.

There’s a hack for that. Learn how!
