Effects of Caloric Restriction and Intermittent Fasting and Their Combined Exercise on Cognitive Functioning: A Review.
Abstract
The impact of dietary habits on cognitive function is increasingly gaining attention. The review is to discuss how caloric restriction (CR) and intermittent fasting (IF) can enhance cognitive function in healthy states through multiple pathways that interact with one another. Secondly, to explore the effects of CR and IF on cognitive function in conditions of neurodegenerative diseases, obesity diabetes and aging, as well as potential synergistic effects in combination with exercise to prevent cognitively related neurodegenerative diseases.

Research summary
The paper discusses the effects of caloric restriction and intermittent fasting on cognitive function, which are relevant to longevity research as they may influence mechanisms associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the review format suggests it synthesizes existing knowledge rather than presenting novel findings, limiting its impact to a solid but incremental advance in the field.
