According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail on the 18th (local time), at the American Heart Association conference held in Chicago, USA, a study showed that people who fast for 16 hours have a higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease. It was announced.
Researchers analyzed the eating habits of 20,000 American adults over a period of 15 years since 2003 and found that people who ate only for 8 hours were 91% more likely to die from heart disease than the general population.
In particular, people with existing cancer or heart disease should be more careful when fasting. “People who practice intermittent fasting and have heart disease or cancer should be very careful,” said Victor Wenze Zhong, a professor at the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in China. “The fact that people who only eat for eight hours is likely to die from cardiovascular disease. “I was surprised,” he said.
The study did not provide a specific reason why intermittent fasting is dangerous to health. However, it was discovered that people who fasted for 16 hours had less body fat and muscle mass than those who did not fast. Studies have shown that low muscle mass is associated with a higher risk of death from heart disease.
Meanwhile, Professor Victor emphasized that although the results of this study revealed a correlation between intermittent fasting and mortality, they were not conclusive. This is because the people who died in the study may have died due to other habits or risk factors.
Intermittent fasting involves limiting eating to 4 to 12 hours out of 24 hours, and celebrities such as British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, businessman Elon Musk, and actress Jennifer Aniston are known to practice this.
