Overview
Most of us eat three meals a day with a smattering of snacks because we think thatās the normal, healthy way to eat. This book shows why thatās not the case. The human body and brain evolved to function well in environments where food could be obtained only intermittently. When we look at the eating patterns of our distant ancestors, we can see that an intermittent fasting eating pattern is normalāand eating three meals a day is not. In The Intermittent Fasting Revolution, prominent neuroscientist Mark Mattson shows that intermittent fasting is not only normal but also good for us; it can enhance our ability to cope with stress by making cells more resilient. It also improves mental and physical performance and protects against aging and disease.

Intermittent fasting is not the latest fad diet; it doesnāt dictate food choice or quantity. It doesnāt make money for the pharmaceutical, processed food, or health care industries. Intermittent fasting is an eating patternĀ that includes frequent periods of time with little or negligible amounts of food.Ā It is often accompanied by weight loss, but, Mattson says, studies show that its remarkable beneficial effects cannot be accounted for by weight loss alone.
Mattsonāwhose pioneering research uncovered the ways that the brain responds to fasting and exerciseāexplains how thriving while fasting became an evolutionary adaptation. He describes the specific ways that intermittent fasting slows aging; reduces the risk of diseases, including obesity, Alzheimerās, and diabetes; and improves both brain and body performance. He also offers practical advice on adopting an intermittent fasting eating pattern as well as information for parents and physicians.
