• Intermittent fasting, or time-restricted feeding, involves restricting the energy intake to fixed time periods and fasting outside these times.
• The practice is associated with several health benefits, such as improved sleep, weight control, blood glucose regulation, cardiac function, and gut health.
• Studies in mice have found that time-restricted feeding may also have anti-aging and anticancer effects.
