New study shows 8-hour time-restricted eating linked to higher risk of cardiovascular death

LOS ANGELES, March 20 (Xinhua) -- An analysis of over 20,000 U.S. adults found that people who limited their eating across less than 8 hours per day, a time-restricted eating plan, were more likely to die from cardiovascular disease compared to people who ate across 12-16 hours per day, a new study has suggested.

Time-restricted eating involves limiting the hours for eating to a specific number of hours each day, which may range from a 4- to 12-hour time window in 24 hours.
