A study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania reveals that disrupting the liver's circadian clock, either genetically or through a high-fat diet, alters eating patterns in mice, leading to increased food intake and weight gain. The research highlights the role of the hepatic vagus nerve in conveying signals from the liver to the brain, influencing circadian eating behaviors. These findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders by modulating liver-brain communication.

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.

Intermittent fasting (IF) involves periods of fasting alternating with periods of eating. There are several methods of IF with variations in the amount of time spent fasting versus eating. Fasting for health is done for different reasons, including weight loss, disease prevention or management, and to help improve other aspects of health, such as physical performance, metabolism, and brain health. However, people with diabetes who take insulin or other glucose-lowering medications and those who are on medication that needs to be taken with food should not follow IF eating patterns. Others who should also avoid IF include individuals with a history of disordered eating, children under 18, and pregnant or breastfeeding people.
