FULL STORY ========================================================================== Eating your daily calories within a consistent window of 8-10 hours
is a powerful strategy to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as
diabetes and heart disease, according to a new manuscript published in
the Endocrine Society's journal, Endocrine Reviews.


========================================================================== Time-restricted eating is a type of intermittent fasting that limits your
food intake to a certain number of hours each day. Intermittent fasting
is one of the most popular diet trends, and people are using it to lose
weight, improve their health and simplify their lifestyles.

"People who are trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle
should pay more attention to when they eat as well as what they
eat. Time-restricted eating is an easy-to-follow and effective dietary
strategy that requires less mental math than counting calories,"
said Satchidananda Panda, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies in La Jolla, Calif. "Intermittent fasting can improve sleep
and a person's quality of life as well as reduce the risk of obesity,
diabetes and heart disease." In the manuscript, the researchers explore
the science behind time-restricted eating, recent clinical studies and the scope for future research to better understand its health benefits. Recent research has revealed that genes, hormones and metabolism rise and fall
at different times of the 24-hour day.

Aligning our daily habit of when we eat with the body's internal clock
can optimize health and reduce the risk or disease burden of chronic
conditions like diabetes, heart disease and liver disease.

"Eating at random times breaks the synchrony of our internal program
and make us prone to diseases," said Panda. "Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle that anyone can adopt. It can help eliminate health disparities
and lets everyone live a healthy and fulfilling life." Other authors of
the study include: Emily Manoogian of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies; Lisa Chow of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn.;
Pam Taub of the University of California, San Diego, in La Jolla, Calif.;
and Blandine Laferre`re of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center
in New York, N.Y.

The study received funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institute on Aging,
the National Cancer Institute, the Larry l. Hillblom Foundation, the Wu
Tsai Human Performance Alliance, the U.S. Department of Defense and the
Federal Emergency Management Agency.
