As fasting diets become increasingly popular, some individuals, including tech bros, have opted to eat only one meal a day. Health influencers are also promoting the benefits of intermittent fasting, stating that it can aid in weight loss, longevity, and even cancer prevention. However, recent headlines have raised concerns that these diets may be dangerous and linked to heart disease-related deaths. Can science provide clarity on this issue?
To explore this topic further, nutrition researchers Dr. Krista Varady and Dr. Courtney Peterson, as well as cancer researcher Professor Valter Longo, share their insights on fasting and its potential impact on health in an episode of the Spotify Studios Original podcast “Science Vs.” They discuss various aspects of fasting, including its effect on fat burning, weight loss, calorie restriction, longevity, and cancer prevention.
The episode also delves into mental health resources for disordered eating for those who may be considering embarking on a fasting diet. The scientific research surrounding fasting is explored in depth to provide a balanced perspective on the topic.
