Increase Brain Power

-

As we age, our bodies undergo various changes, some of which are immediately noticeable like graying hair and wrinkling skin. However, our brains also experience significant but less visible transformations. Research, including a recent study in mice, has shown that certain cells in the brain can stiffen with age, similar to how muscles and joints can. These changes in the brain are multifaceted, affecting memory and cognitive abilities and even altering brain cells and their chemistry at the microscopic level.

We can reverse or minimize these damages through few life style choices like food, exercise, stress free life. One of the most important thing that can help for this concern is Time Restricted Eating.

It's true that brain function can decline with age, and diet plays a role in cognitive health. A high-carb diet can lead to insulin resistance, impacting glucose's effectiveness as a brain fuel. Neurons can use ketones, which may be more efficient.

A ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can increase ketone levels, potentially improving cognitive function. MCT oil can also boost ketone production. Noticing improvements in memory, clarity, or focus after these changes might indicate benefits from the switch in fuel source.

Fasting (IF) can indeed induce mild stress that promotes cellular adaptation, which has various beneficial effects on the brain and body. One of the key mechanisms is the increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports the survival of brain cells and the growth of new neurons, particularly in the hippocampus.


Signs of Low BDNF

• Neurodegeneration

• Diabetes

• Increased Inflammation

• Increased LDL

• Worsen  Multiple sclerosis  (an autoimmune disorder)

Things to Do to Increase BDNF:

• Intermittent Fasting

• Aerobic

• Exercise

• Vitamin D

• Omega 3

• Healthy Ketogenic Diet

• Decrease Calories

Hippocampus and Fasting:

Fasting increases something called neuroplasticity, which gets the nerves communication. The combination of having your neurons communicate and listen better, making more neurons, and repairing DNA mainly occur in the structure called the hippocampus of the brain.

The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and memory. IF has also been shown to reduce insulin resistance, which otherwise can negatively impact the hippocampus by depriving it of oxygen and nutrients. Additionally, IF can help inhibit the formation of amyloid plaques, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Improving Hippocampus Benefits:

• Improved memory

• Improved learning

• Improved spatial navigation

• Improved inhibitory control (the ability or strength to say no to certain stimuli.)

• Improved mood

Fasting Protocol:

To start seeing these incredible cognitive benefits, you have to fast for at least 18 hours a day. With an 18:6 intermittent fasting pattern, you would fast for 18 hours and have a 6-hour eating window. This means no snacking while fasting. You can eat during your 6-hour window, but I recommend only two meals. If you are still hungry, add more fat at the end of your meals.

Brain and Ketones:

Many people have damage to their brains from chronic glucose exposure caused by a high-carb diet. Glucose is a poor fuel source for the brain. When you switch the brain's fuel source from glucose to ketones, the ketones can bypass the damage and feed your neurons directly. Ketones are very therapeutic for your brain

If you are on high glucose fuel for a longer period of time, you are at a higher risk for diabetes and the complications that can come with diabetes, such as dementia, neuropathy, and diabetic autonomic neuropathy.

There are three ways to get your body to produce ketones:

1. Go on the keto diet

2. Fasting

3. Exercise

The potential benefits of fasting for your brain:

1. It helps slow down age-related brain decline and brain-related diseases

2. It allows the brain cells to get the fuel they need

3. It helps reduce inflammation in the brain

4. It helps stabilize neurons

5. It helps the nerves connect better

6. It supports genes that increase the repair action of neurons

7. It boosts antioxidants in certain parts of the

8. It causes autophagy, which recycles damaged proteins in the brain

9. It can help improve structures in the brain

10. It can help improve your mood

11. It supports your ability to learn and focus

12. It supports your memory

13. It helps improve your motor skills

14. It increases neurogenesis (the making of new neurons).

15. Repair DNA of neurons

Hey there! Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Something feels off today"? Well, believe it or not, your face can actually tell you a lot about what's happening inside your body, especially when it comes to your blood sugar levels. It's like a little roadmap to your health! Let’s take a fun dive into how your face can reveal signs of blood sugar imbalances and what you can do to fix it. Ready? Your Puffy Face: Insulin in Overdrive? Ever notice that your face looks a little puffier than usual? It might not just be the weather—it could be a sign of excess insulin in your body. When you eat too many carbs, especially refined ones, your blood sugar spikes, and your body holds on to extra water, leading to that swollen look. But don’t panic—if you’re not munching on junk food, think about those "healthy" snacks you might be having. Even things like apples with peanut butter can add up in sugar! So, keeping an eye on carb intake can help balance those...

How Protein, Fat, and Insulin Shape Your Muscle Growth Journey Ever wondered why some people build muscle easily while others struggle? It's not just about lifting heavy or working out consistently -it's also about how your body processes protein, fat, and insulin. Let's chat about how these work together to sculpt your body! Why Protein is a Gym-Goer's Best Friend Protein is often hailed as the king of muscle building, and for good reason. But did you know that not all proteins are created equal. Does Protein Spike Insulin?   Yes, protein can cause a slight rise in insulin. But don't worry-this is actually a good thing! Insulin helps your muscles absorb amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle repair and growth. Lean Protein vs. Protein with Fat :  Lean protein sources (like chicken breast) are great, but pairing protein with fat (like salmon or eggs) can keep your blood sugar stable and give you sustained energy. Do You Really Need Protein ...
