Time-Restricted Eating & Fasting

Time-Restricted Eating: Aligning with Your Body's Clock

Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), often called intermittent fasting, involves consuming all of your daily calories within a specific window, typically 8-10 hours, and fasting for the remaining 14-16 hours. This practice aligns your eating patterns with your natural circadian rhythms. The benefits are numerous: it improves insulin sensitivity, promotes metabolic flexibility (the ability to switch between burning carbs and fat for fuel), and gives your digestive system a much-needed rest. Most importantly, the fasting period triggers autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup process, which is a key mechanism for slowing the aging process.
