"Study Finds Link Between Intermittent Fasting and Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Death"

A new study presented at an American Heart Association meeting suggests that adhering to an eight-hour time-restricted eating plan, a popular form of intermittent fasting, may increase the risk of dying from heart disease. The study analyzed data on 20,000 adults and found that those following this eating pattern had a higher likelihood of heart disease-related mortality, particularly those with existing heart conditions or cancer. The findings raise concerns about the long-term impact of intermittent fasting on heart health and highlight the importance of focusing on overall diet quality rather than just the timing of meals.
