More than one-third of adults in the United States have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that significantly raise a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels.
In a new clinical trial, researchers at the Salk Institute and University of California San Diego School of Medicine found that time-restricted eating – also known as intermittent fasting – could offer significant health benefits to adults with metabolic syndrome.
