Calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, and time-restricted eating encourage neurogenesis in humans. Try any of the following:
- 24-hour water-only fast once a month
- Reducing your calorie intake by 50%-60% on two non-consecutive days of the week for two to three months or on an ongoing basis
- Eating only between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. as a general rule
