5.Boost Brain Function
So far, most information about fasting and brain function comes from non-human research. Studies of fasting rats show improvement in both brain structure and growth of nerve cells that improve brain function. Experts are looking into how this might help slow conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
6.Cut Cancer Risk
Animal and cell studies show fasting may help block tumor growth and help chemotherapy work better in people with cancer. There isn’t enough research yet on humans to know how fasting affects cancer risk in people.
