This Happens to Your Gut When You Fast

Could fasting help reduce inflammation and support your brain? 🧠

Most people think fasting is just skipping meals, but it can trigger powerful processes that support cell health and decrease inflammation, even for those with chronic conditions.

Here are 3 key ways fasting helps your brain, according to Dr. Joshua Helman, M.D.:

1. Intermittent Fasting for Beginners
Start small with a 12-hour feeding window or skip breakfast. Giving your gut a break can reduce fuel for inflammatory bacteria.

2. Autophagy: The Body’s Cleanup Crew
During fasting, your cells recycle damaged proteins, making way for new, healthy ones, helping your brain and body function optimally.

3. Supports Brain Health in Chronic Conditions
Fasting can naturally decrease inflammation that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, giving your brain a chance to reset.
