Can skipping meals save your memory? new study tests fasting for brain health

This study is testing whether a daily fasting schedule can help improve brain function and overall health in older adults who are overweight and noticing memory problems. For 24 weeks, participants will either follow a time-restricted eating plan (fasting for about 16 hours each day) or receive general healthy aging advice. Researchers will measure changes in memory, thinking skills, physical ability, sleep, and mood to see if the fasting approach is a safe and helpful strategy.
