Could fasting be the key to preventing Alzheimer's Disease? A new study has revealed the potential benefits of fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) cycles in reducing the risk factors associated with aging and disease. The study has shown that FMD cycles can reduce cognitive decline and AD pathology in AD mouse models.

Neuro Athletes,
I have delved deep into the topic of fasting and its potential benefits in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
The findings of a recent study have shown that fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) cycles have a significant impact on reducing the risk factors associated with aging and disease, which could include Alzheimer's disease.
The study has shown that FMD cycles can reduce cognitive decline and AD pathology in AD mouse models.
The effects of FMD cycles were found to be superior to those caused by protein restriction cycles, indicating that fasting could have a greater impact on preventing Alzheimer's disease than previously thought.
The study has also found that long-term FMD cycles in mice reduce hippocampal Ab load and hyperphosphorylated tau, enhance the genesis of neural stem cells, decrease microglia number, and reduce the expression of neuroinflammatory genes.
These findings suggest that fasting could be an effective way to reduce neuroinflammation and/or superoxide production in the brain, which are believed to be key factors in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Clinical data also indicates that FMD cycles are generally safe and feasible for a small group of AD patients.
These findings suggest that FMD cycles could be a promising treatment option for individuals who are at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or who have already been diagnosed with the condition.
Here are some key takeaways from the study:
FMD cycles have a significant impact on reducing the risk factors associated with aging and disease.
FMD cycles can reduce cognitive decline and AD pathology in E4FAD and 3xTg AD mouse models.
The effects of FMD cycles are superior to those caused by protein restriction cycles.
Long-term FMD cycles in 3xTg mice reduce hippocampal Ab load and hyperphosphorylated tau, enhance the genesis of neural stem cells, decrease microglia number, and reduce the expression of neuroinflammatory genes.
FMD cycles are generally safe and feasible for a small group of AD patients.
FMD cycles could be a promising treatment option for individuals who are at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or who have already been diagnosed with the condition.
The findings of this study suggest that fasting could have significant benefits in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
The potential benefits of fasting include reducing cognitive decline and AD pathology, reducing neuroinflammation, and superoxide production in the brain.
While further research is needed to determine the full impact of fasting on preventing Alzheimer's disease, the results of this study are promising and should be considered by those who are at risk of developing this debilitating condition.

If someone was going to add FMD to their regimen how often would they do it? 1x a quarter? 1x every 6 months? 1 x a year?
