Intermittent fasting: benefits or risks? Study raises questions about heart health

Discover if intermittent fasting benefits outweigh or pose risks on heart health. While popular among tech moguls, Hollywood stars, and even UK politicians like Rishi Sunak for its alleged metabolism and longevity benefits, a new study highlights potential dangers. Examining data from over 19,000 adults, researchers found a 135% higher risk of cardiovascular disease-related deaths for those fasting within less than an eight-hour window. The study raises concerns about the widely perceived risk-free nature of intermittent fasting and its actual impact on heart health.
