Cellular Energy Nutrition & Brain Health Parkinson's Disease Clinic Videos Video Explores Intermittent Fasting to Enhance Metabolism November 30, 2017 | 1 Comment on Video Explores Intermittent Fasting to Enhance Metabolism Intermittent fasting and restricted caloric intake is powerfully neuroprotective. Short-term fasting stimulates autophagy, a metabolic process that eliminates cell waste that may be responsible for many of the effects of aging. Studies have demonstrated that fasting can help prevent heart disease, speed fat loss, as well as slow or reverse aging. Researchers have found that the autophagy process is often defective in cancer, infectious diseases, immunological disorders and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease (PD).
