Longevity Fasting

After an incredible six years, we have decided to discontinue the Longevity Fasting Diet (LFD).

We are immensely proud of the positive impact the LFD has had on so many lives, however, due to family commitments, shifting priorities, and the conclusion of our lease, we feel it’s time to fully pursue our other interests.

We have been gradually winding down production over the past few weeks and have just sold our final meal plans.

Sip Kitchen and the LFD have been a significant part of our lives for a long time, and we are deeply grateful to all our wonderful customers, stockists, suppliers, friends, and family for their support throughout this journey. It has been a challenging yet rewarding decade, and we are thankful to have been able to pursue our passion.

We hope that the LFD can live on with someone else at the helm, so if you know anyone with similar ethos who would be interested in purchasing an already established meal plan business, please let us know.

Thank you once again, and we hope to see you around!

Can fasting make you smarter?? Maybe! Fasting can have some pretty great effects on the brain! ⁣

👉 When you do an extended fast you may go into nutritional ketosis where your body starts burning ketones for fuel instead of glucose. Ketones are often said to be a more powerful and efficient fuel source for the brain than glucose.

👉 BDNF is a protein that is involved in memory, learning, and the generation of new nerve cells. Fasting may stimulate the production of BDNF in nerve cells.

👉 Fasting increases blood flow to the brain which results in the brain receiving more oxygen and other nutrients.

👉 During a fast you may have a clearer and sharper mind due to increased blood flow to the brain and your body burning ketones for fuel.

👉 Fasting may improve cognition and slow age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration.

👉 When fasting you don’t have to spend any mental energy thinking about what you have to eat each day so you can put that energy into other things!
