How Does Fasting Help With Parkinson’s?

[Kia17]

What we know about intermittent fasting and its impact on Parkinson’s

You’ve probably heard that fasting can cleanse your body and improve your health. But did you know it might dampen the effects of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s?

Hi Kia,

the real effects of fasting on PD have not been studied as far as I know, but there is a paper about neuronal autophagy here :

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

that struck me.

I decided, after reading this, to try it on myself. But which type of fasting is best ? I do not know. I chose 36 hours water fasting twice a week.

I found the interview of a biologist on YouTube, very complicated, very learned, but the interviewer, at the end of the session, asked him if he draw consequences for himself. He answered that :

- he was eating only in the evening (i.e. once a day),

- plus a 5 days fasting every 6 month.

Hi Xenos

I am 17 hours fasted 7 hours fed every single day. Adding Yoga and meditation to Intermittent Fasting doubles the effect. It really cleanses body and mind.

Hi Kia, what is your regime? Do you skip dinner?

[Kia17 in reply to Fed1000]

Hi Fed

My main meal is dinner. I eat from 12MD to 7PM but sensibly. No wheat No gluten No sugar. Fruits only Berries. Loads of vegetables, olive and olive oil. Taking Garlic which is amazing as a great prebiotics. Fatty Fish. Dark chocolate 100% cocoa.Avocado. No processed or fast foods. Taking.(MCT oil C8 + butter + coffee )aka bulletproof coffee at 9 AM. Hydration sensibly.

Hope these help.

Kia

[Fed1000 in reply to Kia17]

Thanks Kia, but with this diet, can you exercise?

[Kia17 in reply to Fed1000]

You’re welcome Fed. I am doing 3-4 days a week indoor cycling and walking everday for 5 to 10 Km and don’t feel exhausted. I have lost about 12kg but feel amazing. Plus Yoga and meditation every day.

[Fed1000 in reply to Kia17]

Thank you very much.

[MBAnderson in reply to Kia17]

Kia, have you ever read anything about or do you know if having a cup of decaf coffee with sweetener and cream in the morning undermines or defeats intermittent fasting? My intermittent fasting would be ever so much more successful if I could just have that one coffee in the morning.

Thanks.

Hi Marc

As far as that coffee doesn’t contain any carbohydrates or protein then I would think should be okay. Anything that spike and triger the rise of insulin is not good for IF. Why decaf coffe?

[MBAnderson in reply to Kia17]

Kia, thank you, thank you. Real coffee sometimes gives me the jitters and since I'm now laser focused on my tremor (since my hiatus from N (see my other post) I don't want to confuse myself. I can do it 15 to 18 hours every day -- to get that autophagy cranking.

[ParlePark in reply to MBAnderson]

Marc, many years ago it was recommended to give up cream in coffee which I drank that way for 20 years at least . After 7 days I never wanted cream, milk or sweetener in my coffee. I recommend u try it. Give it a week. Presently I stop eating by 4-5 pm and breakfast around 8 -9 am. Now I add mannitol, mct and lions mane to my coffee. It’s great!

[MBAnderson in reply to ParlePark]

Thanks -- give it a try

[Erniediaz1018]

This is a great post. Thanks Kia

[MBAnderson]

I'll have to abandon the coffee in that case or least the creamer. I've given up Heineken beer, red meat, and most of the joys -- please don't make me give up my morning coffee.

[NRyan in reply to MBAnderson]

You don't have to give up anything you don't want. maybe halve the amount of sugar and cream? I would measure both out initially and reduce to where you still get the satisfaction.

[Kia17 in reply to MBAnderson]

Marc

I havenot drunk even a beer for the past one year.I have no interest to drink anymore. The state of mind with keto and meditation is more joyful than with drinking alcohol. Though I never been a binge drinker but used to drink occasionally and like I said not anymore.

[MBAnderson]

NRyan, terrific. I was hoping hear that.

[Kia17]

NRyan

Please can you let me know your reference for “ if you intake more than 50 cal then the fast is broken” ?

[Kia17]

Please watch this:

Dr Berg clarifys that . Please note we arenot doing IF to loose weight but to increase the blood Ketones as a clean fuel in our body.Though I have lost 12 kg like I said earlier. The butter in bulletproof coffee alone has AT LEAST 150 cal ,now add calories for MCT oil or cream.
