Re: Improving Intelligence with Diet

Still we suggest to take time to
understand the biochemistry of CR and how cells adapt to fewer
calories, less amino acids, etc. They should also study what happens
when excess ATP is added to a cell. That may be very beneficial for
judging whether or not to take a particular supplement, for example.
It is one thing to overeat. It is adding fuel to the fire to
exacerbate that  biochemistry with a supplement that might provide
increased energy and perhaps a higher n-back score for a little while,
and over the years might destroy neurons and a whole lot of other
things.

Interesting. CR increases alertness and cathecolamine levels I think. is this teh main way it boosts cognition?

Thanks Paul for your input here. very interesting stuff.

I don't really see how the above study supports taking up a CR diet
for cognitive benefits. In the study Resveratrol supplementation
resulted in greater improvements. So why not just take Resveratrol? It
results in superior enhancement and you don't need suffer through the
discomfort that I imagine a CR diet would entail.
