When the body experiences hunger or fasting, it activates a natural process called autophagy, where damaged or weak cells are broken down and recycled. This helps eliminate harmful cells, potentially lowering the risk of serious diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Autophagy plays a key role in improving cell health, boosting longevity, and supporting overall wellness. While research is ongoing, experts believe this process could be a breakthrough in disease prevention and anti-aging.

Science Shows Your Brain Today is Still Affected by How Much Sleep You Got Two Weeks Ago:

What you do (or don't do) impacts your brain for a long, long time.

A new study by colleagues from Aalto University and the University of Oulu reveals that your brain’s activity and connectivity are shaped by habits and behaviors from as far back as two weeks ago.

Researchers tracked brain activity and behavior over five months using brain scans, wearable devices, and smartphone surveys.

They found that daily routines — such as how well you slept or whether you exercised — can have lasting effects on attention, memory, and cognition. Some lifestyle choices produce short-term effects lasting only a few days, while others, like sleep or exercise, can influence brain function for up to 15 days. This suggests that your cognitive performance today is not just about what you did yesterday but reflects choices made weeks earlier.

The findings highlight the importance of consistent healthy habits for long-term brain health.

Regular exercise, quality sleep, and cognitive stimulation — like reading or learning new skills — enhance neuroplasticity and improve cognitive resilience over time. Social interaction, mindfulness practices such as meditation, and a diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants also promote emotional regulation and protect neurons, helping to prevent cognitive decline.

The study’s insights into how brain connectivity evolves could pave the way for personalized mental health treatments, enabling interventions tailored to individuals' unique brain activity patterns.

These advances may transform how we manage cognitive health and mental well-being, shifting the focus toward proactive, habit-based strategies for maintaining brain health.

Brain scans show fasting literally rewires your brain:

Brain scans of participants in a recent study showed changes in brain areas that regulate appetite and addiction, including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. At the same time, tests of stool samples and blood showed changes in the gut bacteria, especially with types called Coprococcus comes and Eubacterium hallii.

The research was published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology.

The team emphasizes that, not only did the participants lose weight, averaging 7.6 kilograms (16.8 pounds), but there were also noticeable changes in the composition of their gut bacteria, and additional changes in brain regions.

These changes were linked to less activity in a part of the brain called the left inferior frontal orbital gyrus, which helps control food intake. During intermittent fasting, certain beneficial gut bacteria may become more prevalent, producing compounds that influence brain activity related to food intake and impulse control. T

his suggests a complex, bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, where altering the gut environment through fasting can lead to changes in brain function, potentially affecting eating behaviors and decision-making processes related to diet. Intermittent fasting offers multiple benefits, including weight loss, improved metabolic health, enhanced brain function, and potential longevity, by altering eating patterns to incorporate regular periods of fasting

Taking time for silence restores the nervous system, helps sustain energy, and conditions our minds to be more adaptive and responsive. For example, silence is associated with the development of new cells in the hippocampus, the key brain region associa...

A Water Crystal photo from water that was exposed to a word “evolution.”

Water stores information. No force can prevent the cyclic nature of society through evolution. External and internal forces may speed up or slow down the cycle, but no one can stop it from evolving.

In science, evolution is said to be either inevitable or accidental. Inevitable evolution is a form of adaptation, while accidental evolution is the result of the action of something larger. Either way, evolution cannot be stopped.
