But when we look at the eating patterns of our distant ancestors, we can see that an intermittent fasting eating pattern is normal—and eating 3 meals a day is not. In \u003ci\u003eThe Intermittent Fasting Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, prominent neuroscientist Mark Mattson shows that frequent periods of time with little or negligible amounts of food is not only normal but also \u003ci\u003egood\u003c\/i\u003e for us. He describes the specific ways intermittent fasting can:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Enhance our ability to cope with stress by making cells more resilient\u003cbr\u003e• Improve mental and physical performance\u003cbr\u003e• Slow aging and reduce the risk of diseases like obesity, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMattson—whose pioneering research uncovered the ways that the brain responds to fasting and exercise—explains how thriving while fasting became an evolutionary adaptation; it’s not just the latest fad diet for weight loss. He also offers practical advice on adopting an intermittent fasting eating pattern as well as information for parents and physicians.Preface xi\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Food Scarcity \"Sculpted\" the Human Brain and Body 7\u003cbr\u003e2 Intermittent Fasting Slows Aging 33\u003cbr\u003e3 Intermittent Fasting for Disease Prevention and Treatment 65\u003cbr\u003e4 Intermittent Fasting Bolsters Brain and Body Performance 101\u003cbr\u003e5 Tales of a Ketone Ester 131\u003cbr\u003e6 Diet Composition and Brain Health 143\u003cbr\u003e7 Listen Up, Moms and Dads 161\u003cbr\u003e8 Beware of the \"Dark Forces\" and Don't Expect Miracle Drugs 179\u003cbr\u003e9 Bon Voyage 197\u003cbr\u003eFurther Reading 213\u003cbr\u003eIndex 231Mark P.
