Intermittent Fasting

Sources:
Listen to Huberman lab episode
Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating that involves alternating periods of eating and fasting, typically over a period of several hours to several days. There is growing evidence to suggest that intermittent fasting may have a number of cognitive benefits that can improve productivity.
One potential cognitive benefit of intermittent fasting is improved focus and mental clarity. Some studies have found that intermittent fasting can increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a role in the growth and survival of new brain cells. This increase in BDNF may help to improve focus and mental clarity, potentially making it easier to complete tasks that require concentration.
In addition to its potential cognitive benefits, intermittent fasting may also have benefits for weight loss, blood sugar control, and insulin sensitivity. While more research is needed to fully understand the potential health and productivity benefits of intermittent fasting, it appears to be a promising approach that may have a number of potential benefits.
