Just like saving dessert for the end of the meal can make it extra satisfying, a new study suggests that fasting later in the day might be the key to controlling blood sugar levels. In this study, researchers found that practicing early time-restricted eating, a form of intermittent fasting, could help prevent type 2 diabetes. Just as treating yourself to dessert after dinner might lead to higher blood sugar levels, eating throughout the day without time restrictions can have the same effect. By limiting food intake to a specific window of time, such as 8 am to 2 pm, participants in the study were able to keep their blood sugar levels in check. This research helps build upon the growing body of evidence supporting the benefits of intermittent fasting.
