"Risks of Intermittent Fasting: Impact on Heart Health and Mortality"

A new study warns that time-restricted eating (TRE), a form of intermittent fasting, may be linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and early death. The study found that restricting eating to an 8-hour window or less was associated with a 91% higher risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, particularly among those with heart disease or cancer. While some celebrities promote TRE for weight loss, the study suggests that focusing on what people eat may be more important than when they eat, and calls for a more cautious, personalized approach to dietary recommendations aligned with an individual's health status and the latest scientific evidence.
