hey guys today we’re going to talk about

intermittent fasting and how to improve

your mental clarity and your mental

sharpness now there’s some really cool

research with doing intermittent fasting

and improving certain parts of the brain

I’m gonna put some links down below one

key part is something called the

hippocampus okay you have two of them on

the left and right side of your brain

the Greek word for hippocampus means

seahorse because it looks like a

seahorse

but it’s intimately involved with

learning memory and spatial navigation

okay what does that mean it means your

ability to locate yourself in your

environment like like it’s kind of a GPS

so to speak now when people have

dementia from Alzheimer’s they have a

very difficult time finding out where

they are in a certain environment they

kind of get lost in a parking lot it’s

kind of like they lost their GPS so by

improving hippocampus you can increase

your ability to learn you can actually

increase the synapses in your brain you

actually can regrow nerve cells that’s

very exciting you can slow down the

aging process you can improve your

memory you can sometimes improve your

emotional state because the hippocampus

is similar to a relay switch with

different emotions and definitely

improve your ability to find yourself in

your environment now it’s interesting in

animal studies if you damage the

hippocampus that animal becomes

hyperactive and they have difficulty in

learning sounds familiar with kids right

so the question is what causes damage

with this part of your brain okay

stress high levels of cortisol there’s a

condition with high cortisol called

Cushing’s syndrome and you see damage

with the hippocampus so one of the

symptoms would be dementia and memory

problems but it can come from stress

vitamin b1 deficiencies can create a

problem with the hippocampus in fact

even if you look up vitamin b1

deficiencies one of the side effects is

memory loss okay and then we have high

levels of sugar and insulin can also

destroy the

campus and that’s why one of the

symptoms of diabetes for example is

dementia and it just so happens that

high sugar and insulin can deplete

vitamin b1 high cortisol can deplete b1

so vitamin b1 is vital and allowing the

hippocampus to work correctly and the

best source of b1 would be nutritional

yeast okay so that’s what I would

recommend getting you can get it in

tablet form but it’ll be something that

would could actually greatly improve

someone that’s trying to prove these

things right here the other thing that’s

really important is aerobic exercise I’m

talking like long walks getting lots of

oxygen low stress very beneficial to

helping improving destruction right here

now as far as intermittent fasting goes

I’m gonna recommend that you start with

three meals a day no snacks whatsoever

the snacking completely destroys the

benefits form in a minute fasting you

have to add more fat to the meal to go

longer then over time gradually knock

out your breakfast a lot of times you’re

just not going to be hungry in the

morning well don’t eat if you’re not

hungry

okay our bodies do not need to eat every

hour and a half unless we have a problem

with our blood Sugar’s so then you have

two meals a day okay and then you want

to gradually start shrinking the

distance between the two meals from

maybe eight hours to six hours to

eventually four hours so if you were to

eat at one o’clock and five o’clock that

would be awesome okay and if you really

want to take it one step further you can

start going to one meal a day that would

create some serious improvement in your

hippocampus especially if you have any

of these problems right here with your

memory and spatial navigation issues or

learning you’re going to see some great

improvements alright so there you have

it so go ahead and apply this and
