Experts have been talking about the benefits of starvation for a long time and now there is a lot of mention of intermittent fasting. Research has now shown that it increases life expectancy and improves long-term memory.
Scientists at King's College London have conducted experiments on mice to show how starvation compensates for the long-term memory and neurological damage caused by aging. Modern research has shown a long list of benefits of starvation, fasting and dieting.
Research has shown that it helps keep gastrointestinal microbes healthy, treats cancer and cleanses the body of toxic proteins that can cause Alzheimer's but at the same time mitochondrial repair at the starvation cell level. It also prevents aging.
In new experiments, experts divided mice into three groups. One of them was given a normal diet, the other group was given a limited calorie diet and the third group was given intermittent fasting ie they were given food the next day after being hungry for one day.
After three months, the long-term memory of the starving group improved. Experts found that they increased the activity of a gene called Clotho, which is called the age-related gene. It prolongs life and at the same time creates new nerve cells in the brain. This can help improve memory.
According to Dr. Sandren Toure, a scientist at King's College, it is surprising that new nerve cells can develop in starving adults. Clotho gene or protein plays an unusual role in this regard. Thus the extraordinary benefits of intermittent fasting have come to light.
