Study: Skipping Breakfast Does Not Affect Thinking Skills

Intermittent fasting does not impair cognitive function in adults, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association. Led by David Moreau from the University of Auckland, the research analyzed 71 studies involving 3,484 participants and found that fasting for up to 12 hours resulted in stable cognitive performance. While fasting might have benefits for metabolic health, children showed some decline in cognitive tasks related to food. Overall, the findings challenge the belief that hunger negatively affects mental sharpness.
