TT: The “12-3 Fast” Used to Combat Brain Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease doesn’t happen overnight-

It is a progressive degeneration that happens over 20-30 years and there are early warning signs and symptoms that show up in the body years before…

My goal for you is to not only live a longer life, but to live most of those years as healthy as possible and one way that we can do that is through intermittent fasting.

So today I want to share with you the specific intermittent fast that is recommended for people with a family history of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other brain-based disorders and also share with you how anyone can reap the benefits of this fast.

Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2736 where I discuss what the 12-3 fast is and how it is used to combat brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. What is The 12-3 Fast

The 12-3 Fast is a 12-hour fast that starts 3 hours prior to bedtime. The last meal of the day should be at least 3 hours before bed to ensure you are receiving the maximum benefits.

2. Why is The 12-3 Fast Important

The 12-3 fast has been found to be the most beneficial for the brain and overall health of the body. By stopping eating 3 hours before bedtime, you ensure your body has plenty of time to digest and ensures optimal sleep.

3. What Do We Do in Practice

In my practice what seems to work best is for people to stop eating by 6pm and then resume eating at 8 am. This provides a full 14 hours of fasting!
