A scientific study conducted in Britain found that eating only 10 hours a day and fasting for the rest of the day helps improve the general mood and increase the body’s energy.
A research team from Imperial College London stated that setting a 10-hour eating period per day means that it is possible to eat breakfast at nine in the morning, and have the last meal of the day by seven in the evening.
It is known that intermittent fasting in general is one of the diets used to lose weight.
Dr. Sarah Berry, head of the study team from Imperial College London, says: “This is the largest study conducted in the real world without being subject to the rules of scientific medical experiments to prove that intermittent fasting can help improve health.”
She added in statements reported by the website Scitech Daily, which specializes in scientific research, that “experience has proven that it is not necessary to undergo a very restrictive program in order to obtain positive results. Eating within 10 hours of the day is something that is achievable for most people, and helps in Improving overall mood, increasing energy, and reducing feelings of hunger.”
37,545 people participated in the experiment, which was conducted through an electronic application for ZOE Healthcare, which asked volunteers to eat normally during the first week, then switch to eating only 10 hours a day for two weeks.
After the trial period ended, more than 36,000 volunteers chose to continue on this diet for additional weeks, and 27,371 volunteers were classified as strongly involved in this program. The percentage of women participating in the program reached 78%, with an average age of 60 years and a body mass index of 25.6.
Dr. Kate Birmingham says: “This study strengthens the evidence about the importance of the way you eat. The impact of food on health is not only related to what we eat, but also to the timing we choose to eat meals.”
