A Narrow Eating Window Might Boost Brain Power in Older Adults
TL;DR Summary
A small study of 47 overweight and obese women aged 50–79 found that eating all daily calories within a nine-hour window (roughly 10 a.m.–6 p.m.) led to similar weight loss as a 12-hour eating pattern, but participants in the time-restricted group showed better performance on cognitive tests of memory, attention, and problem-solving, suggesting meal timing and circadian alignment may help brain health in aging—though larger studies are needed to confirm the findings.
