Consuming your daily calories within a consistent window of 8-10 hours is a potent strategy to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, and heart ailments according to an article published in Endocrine Society's journal, Endocrine Reviews.
Time-restricted eating is another form of intermittent fasting that limits your food intake to a certain number of hours each day. Intermittent fasting is considered among the most popular diet trends worldwide as millions of people are using it to lose weight, improve their health, and simplify their lifestyles.
Satchidananda Panda, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California says "People who are trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle should pay more attention to when they eat as well as what they eat. Time-restricted eating is an easy-to-follow and effective dietary strategy that requires less mental math than counting calories," he further adds "Intermittent fasting can improve sleep and a person's quality of life as well as reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease."
In the article, the researchers explored the science behind time-restricted eating, discussed recent clinical studies along with the scope for further research to better understand the health benefits associated with it. Some recent research has revealed that genes, hormones, and metabolism rise and fall at different times in the 24 hour day cycle. We can easily reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, or liver disease by aligning our eating habits with our body's internal clock.
Panda said that "Eating at random times breaks the synchrony of our internal program and makes us prone to diseases. Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle that anyone can adopt. It can help eliminate health disparities and lets everyone live a healthy and fulfilling life."
Authors of the study include the following: Emily Manoogian of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies; Lisa Chow of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn.; Pam Taub of the University of California, San Diego, in La Jolla, Calif.; and Blandine Laferrère of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York, N.Y.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institute on Aging, the National Cancer Institute, the Larry l. Hillblom Foundation, the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
