Intermittent Fasting: A Potential Risk for Cardiovascular Death

A study presented at an American Heart Association conference suggests that intermittent fasting, particularly limiting eating to less than eight hours a day, is linked to a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. The research analyzed data from over 20,000 adults and found that those with shorter eating durations had a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular death. While previous studies have touted the health benefits of intermittent fasting, experts emphasize the need for further research and caution against drawing definitive conclusions from this study alone.
