Tip #2: Try (Mild) Intermittent Fasting
Fasting sounds extreme – but it doesn’t have to be, and it has the potential to offer many benefit, including brain regeneration.
In fact, some research even explores the use of fasting as a treatment for cognitive decline. When you fast, your body triggers autophagy, which is the body’s way of getting rid of damaged cells to make way for newer and healthier ones. In turn, this can help regenerate nerve cells, helping you maintain optimal brain health.
In most cases, eating dinner at a reasonable hour and avoiding snacking afterwards leads to a 12+ hour fast. As with anything, though, it’s best to discuss this with your doctor if you’re considering it.
