Abstract in brief

  • Intermittent fasting and exercise lead to a metabolic switch in the body, utilizing ketones from fat stores, which enhances brain function and resilience.
  • This metabolic switching promotes adaptations in neural networks, improving their ability to handle stress, injury, and diseases.
  • Focusing on the cycles of fasting and recovery can optimize cognitive abilities and mood throughout life by activating pathways that support neuroplasticity.
