Intermittent Fasting: A Promising Approach for Gut Health and Weight Management

Intermittent fasting, particularly time-restricted eating, has gained popularity as a weight-loss strategy by allowing people to eat within specific time windows. While it may help reduce calorie intake and support circadian rhythms, studies show it is no more effective than traditional calorie counting for weight loss. Some research suggests potential cardiovascular risks, especially with prolonged fasting periods, so individuals should consult healthcare providers before starting such diets.
