LOS ANGELES – An analysis of more than 20,000 U.S. adults found that those who followed a time-restricted eating plan, restricting their daily meals to less than eight hours, compared with those who ate over 12 to 16 hours. found that they were more likely to die from cardiovascular disease. New research suggests a daily rate.

Time-restricted eating involves restricting your eating time to a specific time each day. This ranges from 4 to 12 hours in a 24-hour period.

Many people on time-restricted diets follow a 16:8 eating schedule, eating all of their food within eight hours each day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

In the study, presented at the American Heart Association meeting held Monday through Thursday in Chicago, researchers investigated the potential long-term health effects of following an 8-hour time-restricted eating plan. did.

The study found that people who followed a pattern of eating all their food for less than eight hours a day had a 91 percent higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

According to the study, people with heart disease or cancer also have an increased risk of cardiovascular death.

Research has found that restricting food intake to less than 8 hours per day is not associated with longer life compared to a standard schedule of eating over 12 to 16 hours per day.

“It’s critical for patients, especially those with pre-existing heart disease or cancer, to be aware of the association between the eight-hour meal window and increased risk of cardiovascular death,” said lead study author and professor said Victor Wenze Zhong, chairman of the study group.

“Our findings encourage a more careful and individualized approach to dietary recommendations, ensuring they are consistent with individual health status and the latest scientific evidence.” he said. – Bernama Xinhua
