06 Dec 2019 --- Limiting food consumption to a ten-hour window each day can lead to weight loss, lower blood pressure and more stable insulin levels. This is according to a pilot study from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, which found that time-restricted eating – a form of intermittent fasting – improved the health of participants who had been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. By delaying the onset of diabetes even by one year in a million people with prediabetes, the intervention could potentially save roughly US$9.6 billion dollars in health care costs, according to a researcher of the study.
