Fasting increases ketones which trigger BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) production.
Fasting also increases ghrelin (hunger hormone) — which improves depression through the chemical orexin.
The Most common way to fast is to limit your eating window
The ideal fasting window for increased BDNF is 16-18 hours.
1. Look at your schedule and see when you normally eat
2. Establish a new eating window
3. Assign a time to your new eating window —for example push back breakfast (eat 12p-8p)
Drink lots of water while fasting (you can also drink coffee and tea)
Intermittent Fasting is not a diet, it’s a schedule adjustment
You still need to choose healthy foods during your eating window
