When you exercise after an overnight fast, your body generally relies more heavily on stored fat for fuel during the workout. Research comparing fasted and fed aerobic exercise has consistently found greater fat oxidation during fasted exercise.

As we take each trip around the sun, many of us start worrying about physical aches and pains — sore knees, stiff backs, fading muscle. But what often keeps us up at night is something deeper: the fear of losing ourselves to cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s disease and dementia aren’t distant threats; for many families — including my own — they’re a painfully close reality.
