Intermittent fasting and interval hypoxic training for activation of adaptive reserves of the body, prevention and treatment of degenerative brain diseases

Degenerative brain diseases (DBD) and other cognitive dysfunctions may appear due to the depletion of adaptive reserves as a result of aging, stress, depression, and other pathological processes (inflammation, malignant neoplasms). The depletion of the adaptive reserves leads to disordering accurate, appropriate signaling in the brain, between the brain and the body, as well as disorders at the levels of the organs, cells and molecules. The body's adaptive reserves ultimately determine the tolerability or the resistance to various degrees of hypoxia, which accompanies stress, trauma, depression, inflammation, and aging. Oxygen is the most important and fastest regulator of metabolism. The fundamental concept is as follows: optimal health is activated and stimulated by intermittent stimulation, i.e. moderate functional loads [1, 2]. We offer practical programs, which combine two non-pharmacological natural methods of activation therapy, training aimed at improving the adaptive reserve of the human body: intermittent fasting treatment (IFT) and interval hypoxic training (IHT).
