Imagine you’re trying to score big in a video game. You know that using just one power-up can help, but what if you combine two power-ups together? A recent study did just that by combining time-restricted eating (TRE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to see if they would have a bigger impact on health than if used separately. The results were mind-blowing! It turns out that the combination of TRE and HIIT led to even better glycemic control, meaning better blood sugar levels, than using each approach on its own. Not only that, but the combo also resulted in a whopping 2-fold reduction in fat mass and visceral fat area compared to either intervention alone.
This study demonstrates that sometimes the old saying is true: two is better than one! By combining these two approaches, researchers were able to create a synergistic effect that produced superior health outcomes. This means that if you’re aiming to improve your health and lose weight, it might be worth considering incorporating both TRE and HIIT into your lifestyle. Who knows what other powerful combinations are waiting to be discovered?! To learn more about this exciting research, check out the full article.
Both time-restricted eating (TRE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have been shown to improve cardiometabolic health in people who are overweight and at risk of serious disease. Now a randomized, controlled trial has tested whether combining these two approaches is more effective than either of them on their own. The results show that the combination improved the average long-term glycemic control compared to a no-intervention control group and induced 2-fold greater reductions in fat mass and visceral fat area compared with each intervention in isolation.
