  • Alzheimer's disease, a devastating neurodegenerative disorder affecting over six million Americans, is often linked to disruptions in the body's circadian rhythm. These disruptions can severely impact cognitive function,

The article from MSN discusses a study that has found a significant link between intermittent fasting and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers discovered that intermittent fasting, a popular diet trend where eating is restricted to certain hours of the day, might influence the progression of Alzheimer's. The study suggests that fasting could potentially alter metabolic pathways in the brain, impacting how Alzheimer's develops. Specifically, it was noted that fasting might reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity, which are beneficial in managing or preventing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. However, the article also cautions that while there are potential benefits, more research is needed to understand the full implications and to tailor fasting regimes that could be beneficial without adverse effects.
