A pilot study has shown that reducing the daily eating window may not only help older women lose weight, but can also moderately improve their cognitive functions. Larger-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.
A study has shown that king penguins in zoos live longer than those in the wild, but their cells age faster due to constant feeding and low physical activity. While comfortable conditions increase their lifespan, they also shorten the period of biological youth.
Avoiding food for at least three hours before bedtime and extending the overnight fasting period can help improve blood pressure, heart rhythm, and blood sugar control in adults at risk for cardiometabolic diseases.
