Intermittent fasting is safe, effective for those with Type 2 diabetes, study suggests
Time-restricted eating, also known as intermittent fasting, can help people with Type 2 diabetes lose weight and control their blood sugar levels, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open from researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago. Participants who ate only during an eight-hour window between noon and 8 p.m. each day […]
Early Time-Restricted Eating Cut Blood Sugar Fluctuations in Prediabetes
CHICAGO – Just 1 week of early time-restricted feeding (eTRF) cut fluctuations in blood sugar levels, and reduced the time that blood sugar was elevated, in people with prediabetes and a high BMI, according to the TRIO study. The difference in the mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE) — the standard for assessing short-term within-day […]
Time-restricted eating reshapes gene expression throughout the body: Salk researchers find that timing calorie intake synchronizes circadian rhythms across multiple systems in mice
Numerous studies have shown health benefits of time-restricted eating including increase in life span in laboratory studies, making practices like intermittent fasting a hot topic in the wellness industry. However, exactly how it affects the body on the molecular level, and how those changes interact across multiple organ systems, has not been well understood. Now, […]
Combining time-restricted eating and HIIT improves health measures in women with obesity
Both time-restricted eating (TRE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have been shown to improve cardiometabolic health in people who are overweight and at risk of serious disease. Now a randomized, controlled trial has tested whether combining these two approaches is more effective than either of them on their own. The results, publishing in the journal […]
