Erwin Loh։ Sleep-Aligned Fasting as an Important Regulator of Cardiometabolic Health

Erwin Loh, President of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Daniela Grimaldi et al, published in American Heart Association:

Sleep-Aligned Fasting Improves Cardiometabolic Health

Extending overnight fasting to match sleep rhythms may improve heart and metabolic health.

A new Northwestern Medicine study has personalized overnight fasting by aligning it with individuals’ circadian sleep-wake rhythm – an important regulator of cardiovascular and metabolic function – without changing their caloric intake.

The study found that among middle-age and older adults who are at higher risk for cardiometabolic disease, extending the participants’ overnight fast by about two hours, dimming the lights and not eating for three hours prior to bedtime improved measures of cardiovascular and metabolic health during sleep, as well as during the daytime.”
