Intermittent fasting may provide your brain with more energy, improving memory and learning capabilities, according to a new study. 

Researchers from the National Institute on Aging found that when mice were fed every other day, they grew more neurons and synaptic connections, improving their cognitive functions.

The new findings support previous research showing the health benefits of fasting for age-related and cardiovascular diseases. 

During intermittent fasting, the body switches energy sources from glucose, made in the liver, to fat cells, which stimulate activity and cell growth in the brain, according to the study.
