"Study: Intermittent Fasting Linked to Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Death"

A new analysis presented at the American Heart Association’s scientific sessions suggests that intermittent fasting, popular for its potential short-term benefits, may be linked to a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. People who limit eating to less than eight hours per day had a 91 percent higher risk of fatal cardiovascular disease, and those with existing cardiovascular disease and ate between eight and 10 hours per day had a 66 percent higher risk of death from heart disease or stroke. The findings emphasize the need for caution in diet choices and further research into the biological mechanisms behind the links between intermittent fasting and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
