A simple eating habit that's often used for people trying to lose weight could improve the memory of people with Alzheimer's, a new study has found.
Alzheimer's disease, which is a progressive condition, is most common in people over the age of 65, according to the NHS. It's estimated that around 900,000 people in the UK are living with the illness.
However, scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that intermittent fasting could "drastically improve" the lives of Alzheimer's sufferers and the people who care for them.
The study showed that in mice, it was possible to improve the circadian disruptions seen in Alzheimer's by carrying out time-restricted feeding.
This involves only eating during a certain time window in the day, but not reducing the amount of food - something that's also recommended for healthy weight loss.
In the study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, mice that were fed on a time-restricted schedule showed improvements in memory, and it's likely that these findings will result in a human clinical trial as well.
Improving the circadian clock is becoming a more popular approach to boosting overall health.
And one way of achieving this is adopting a controlled cycle of eating and fasting throughout the day.
The scientists tested this theory on a mice model of Alzheimer's, where they were only allowed to eat for six hours throughout the day. In humans, this would translate to about 14 hours of fasting.
The results showed that the fasting mice had better memory, were less hyperactive in the evenings, and followed a better and less disrupted sleep schedule.
They also performed better in cognitive tests, showing that time-restricted eating could also help

The California Republican Party is currently at odds with the national Republican Party after proposing to remove opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion – two longstanding mainstays of the national platform – from its state party platform.Supporters of the proposed change say that removing those two prominent social issues from the state’s political platform would put the state GOP’s official position more in line with the values held by most California voters. Opponents argue that by removing those topics, the state party’s stances would contradict those held by most of the party’s presidential candidates and betray values or beliefs that are deeply held by the party’s conservative base.The 2016 Republican national party platform, which still stands today as the party’s guiding document, opposes same-sex nuptials despite bans prohibiting such marriages having been struck down by the U.S.
