Affect brain function

According to research, autophagy is essential for brain function and preserving the health of your nerve cells. Three-year research found that intermittent fasting increased brain function in older persons with minor mental disabilities. Another study with 883 older persons found similar results, emphasizing that the favorable effects of intermittent fasting might be attributed to a variety of causes, including autophagy.

Ketones are employed as an effective source of energy for the brain and may boost brain function in addition to enhancing autophagy. Furthermore, some research suggests that the ketogenic diet may aid in the treatment of neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease. More study on the relationship between autophagy and brain health, however, is required.
