A recent study revealed that eating within a ten-hour window leads to increased energy and mood, along with decreased hunger. The largest UK study of its kind, involving over 37,000 participants, showed that consistent adherence to this ten-hour intermittent fasting regime resulted in notable health benefits. The study also emphasized the importance of consistent eating times, with those who varied their eating schedule not experiencing the same positive effects.Eating within a ten-hour window is linked to increased…
