Impact of Time-Restricted Eating on Cardiovascular Health

Research suggests that people who limit their eating to less than 8 hours per day may be more likely to die from cardiovascular disease compared to those who eat across 12-16 hours per day. Time-restricted eating, a form of intermittent fasting, has gained popularity for short-term benefits but may have long-term adverse effects.

Intermittent Fasting and Cardiovascular Health

Preliminary research suggests that people following a time-restricted eating schedule, like intermittent fasting, with an 8-hour eating window may have a 91% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those with a regular eating schedule. This finding goes against previous studies that showed benefits of intermittent fasting on blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels.
