What are the benefits of fasting for the brain?

If you have brain fog, memory problems, and mental fatigue, you need to do fasting. Fasting can stimulate a certain protein called BDNF by up to 400%.

It can resist oxidative stress that comes from too frequent eating because the more frequent you eat, the more it could raise insulin and can do more damage that is created in your brain where your memory starts going downhill. He also talks about neurogenesis or the regrowing of the nerve cells.
