Can fasting reverse brain aging? The NIH ran the trial, and the result is more complicated than the headline.
40 older adults, 8 weeks, a 5:2 protocol — two non-consecutive days a week at 480 calories. Measured brain age dropped. It also dropped in the comparison group that ate a healthy Mediterranean diet and never fasted at all. This video reports both.
