🕒The 16 8 plan of intermittent fasting, which involves eating within an 8-hour window and fasting for the remaining 16 hours, has become popular for weight loss.
💔A recent study challenges the health benefits of intermittent fasting for heart health, specifically the 16 8 plan.
📊The study analyzed data from 20,000 adults and found that limiting eating to an 8-hour window was associated with a 91% increase in the risk of death from heart disease.
🔄Intermittent fasting is often praised for its potential weight loss and heart health benefits, but this study suggests that there may be more to the story.
🔍Additional research is needed to fully understand the impact of nutrient quality and other factors on the outcomes of intermittent fasting.
