The Dynamic Effects of Intermittent Fasting on the Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis

The intricate interplay between the brain and the gut microbiota is a subject of growing interest, particularly in the context of interventions aimed at weight loss in obese individuals. Scientists have uncovered a crucial breakthrough: intermittent fasting, also referred to as intermittent energy/calorie restriction (IER), induces substantial changes in both the brain and the gut, offering promising possibilities for maintaining a healthy weight. This study delves into the dynamic effects of short-term intermittent fasting on successful weight loss, and we summarize the findings in the following article.

How Stress Can Increase Your Biological Age & Ways to Reverse It

Stress is an inherent part of life, but its impact on both mental and physical health is profound. A recent study published in Cell Metabolism reveals that stress can influence our biological age, potentially accelerating the aging process. However, the good news is that the study suggests that when stressors are resolved, the biological age can revert to its baseline. Biological age appears to be dynamic. Understanding how stress affects our bodies and adopting strategies to mitigate its impact can contribute to healthier aging.
