STORY AT-A-GLANCE
An animal study showed how a time-restricted and calorie-restricted diet could lengthen life by 35%, adding nine months over the typical two-year lifespan
Past research showed calorie-restricted and time-restricted diets each confer health benefits, including activating autophagy, improving immunity and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Time-restricted eating increases certain metabolites that are connected to muscle maintenance and antioxidant activity, increases longevity, improves potential weight loss and lowers the risk of diabetes, certain cancers and dementia
There are several strategies to help overcome hunger pangs as you begin to practice intermittent fasting, including staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, eating the right fat and drinking coffee with MCT oil
