Intermittent fasting linked to fertility issues

Intermittent fasting, a popular dieting technique among Hollywood A-listers, could lead to fertility problems, according to a study on zebrafish by experts at the University of East Anglia. The research found that both egg and sperm quality were negatively affected even after the fish returned to their normal levels of food consumption. The study's authors said the results "call for careful evaluation of the effects of intermittent fasting on fertilisation". While some studies suggest intermittent fasting works, experts remain divided over its effectiveness and potential long-term health impacts.
