Abstract in brief

  • This review explores how different types of intermittent fasting, like caloric restriction and Ramadan fasting, can influence cognitive performance in adults, especially athletes, both at rest and during exercise, highlighting the positive effects of exercise combined with dietary factors on brain health.
  • It emphasizes that exercise and diet together can improve brain plasticity and energy metabolism through molecular mechanisms involving brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), although some aspects like daytime fasting may negatively impact mental health and decision-making.
  • Recent studies suggest that intermittent fasting not only affects physical and mental performance by altering bodily physiology and biochemistry but also influences immune responses in the brain, potentially impacting memory and other cognitive functions.]

Le ramadan est très pratique d'un point de vue physiologie du sport. Grâce à ce dernier, on en savait déjà pas mal sur le "jeûne intermittent", avant que ça devienne à la mode. Le résultat est sans appel. https://t.co/LV6BpEfP00

38. روزه گرفتن در ماه رمضان تاثیر بدی بر عملکرد کلیه ندارد. 39. حتی در کسانی که پیوند کلیه انجام داده‌اند!

@sendotakeshi19 @laKritic @lnstantFoot Le système immunitaire, l’inflammation et le taux de cholestérol n’a absolument rien avoir avec la performance physique. Voici une étude scientifique sur le sujet. Et n’importe quelle autre étude sérieuse a les mêmes conclusions. https://t.co/x7MctVqMer
