hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about fasting BDNF and hippocampus okay

let’s just define some terms here BDNF

brain-derived neurotrophic factor okay

I’ll explain what it is but first I just

want to talk about the basic neuron the

brain cell

we have dendrites over here which are

like the receptors so like the ears okay

and the information is transmitted to

the cell body and then it’s sent out

through the accident so the axon is the

communicator it’s the ice like the mouth

okay so the axon does the talking and

the dendrites do the listening so we

have this whole communication thing

going on okay and it communicates to the

dendrites on the next neuron so we have

this entire communication going from one

nerve cell to the next nerve cell so

fasting increases something called

neural plasticity which basically gets

the nerves in communication now if

you’ve ever been to a restaurant you’ll

observe this with couples that are

completely out of communication they’re

sitting there they’re eating they

haven’t said a word to each other okay

and then you look around two other

couples that they’re in communication

okay so it’s much better in the brain if

the cells are talking to each other in

listening that’s the foundation of

health in fact all disease relates to a

lack of communication in the body so

when you have a decrease in B D and F

you have neuro degeneration you

eventually get diabetes you have

increased inflammation your LDL

increases you worsen MS which is an

autoimmune disorder so fasting has the

ability to get your cells to start

talking again number two it increases

neurogenesis which is the making of new

neurons so not only do we have this

neurons talking but we have more

production of new neurons being created

and number three this compound can

repair the DNA of neurons in fact that’s

going to protect against certain

mutations which actually can develop

into cancer and other diseases so even

though fasting can spike BDNF aerobic

exercise can also improve it as well

vitamin D can increase it omega-3 fatty

acids can increase it going on a keto

diet and producing ketones can improve

it you’re automatically going to lower

your calories without creating a

nutritional deficiency because your body

will start to adapt and your

requirements for nutrients won’t be as

much if you’re doing frequent meals I

would highly recommend not to do the

typical low calorie diet where you see

people doing you know eating every hour

through the day just keeping your

calories low because you’re going to be

creating a lot of spikes in insulin

every time you eat not to mention

probably nutritional deficiencies so you

do fasting eat less frequently and eat a

little bit bigger meal that’s what I’m

going to recommend now the combination

of having your neurons communicate

better listen better and making neurons

and repairing DNA mainly occur in a

structure called the hippocampus of the

brain now there’s not a lot known about

the hippocampus but we do know it’s

related to these things right here if

you improve at BO campus okay you can

improve memory you can improve your

ability to learn you can improve your

mood you can improve your spatial

navigation so let’s say for example

you’re trying to drive across town and

you’re trying to find out where

something is if you have a good

hippocampus you can find it quite easily

and you may not even need a GPS okay and

also it can increase something called an

inhibitory control well what is that

well this is your ability and your

strength to say no to certain stimulus

is okay so let’s say for example you see

a chocolate cake can you resist that so

your strength at resisting things that

aren’t good for you okay that’s called

inhibitory control some people cannot do

that as you improve the hippocampus

through fasting you’ll be able to have

more willpower and you’ll have the

ability to be less addicted to certain

things alright guys thanks so much for

watching and if you’re new to them in of

fasting and you want to know more I

created a little summary sheet of how to

do it healthily down below check it out

notifications that sounds

weird well I’ll just remind you on a

daily basis how about that
