Hello again everyone:
Here is a great article that continues on the previous blog post, and it is about when to eat for optimal health. This brand-new report evaluated what is called early Time Restricted Feeding, (eTRF) where 80% of your caloric intake is accomplished by 1:00 PM. They looked at how this eating pattern affected your blood sugar and inflammation, two important markers for health and longevity. Here is what they found:
“We decreased the time these individuals were having high blood sugar levels with just one week of eTRF feeding,” said study senior author José O. Alemán, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone. “The findings show that eating a majority of one’s calories earlier in the day reduces the time that the blood sugar is elevated, thereby improving metabolic health.”
“Based on this data, eTRF may be a helpful dietary strategy for diabetes prevention,” concluded Dr. Bruno.

Bottom Line:
The only shortcoming of this study is that they do not reveal what the study participants actually ate, because conceivably having them eat a predominantly plant-based food plan with low glycemic foods could have considerably improved their results. At any rate, blood sugar problems are ridiculously common in our country, with 1 in 10 having diabetes, and more than 1 in 3 having pre-diabetes. These facts are troubling because there are many diseases and inflammatory processes driven by blood sugar imbalances: kidney disease; hypertension; dementia; obesity; polycystic ovarian syndrome; fatty liver; dental problems; thyroid disorders; digestive disorders and celiac disease; and more. Switching to eTRF can modify or prevent these challenging health issues…for optimal health, why not try eTRF and see how it goes? Ask your health care professional if you have any issues that would prevent this eating pattern…and of course, always eat clean, organic, predominantly plant based food patterns for optimal health.
