Intermittent Fasting Doubles Your Risk of Dying from a Heart Attack

Recent news reports have claimed that intermittent fasting can lead to cardiovascular death. What’s the truth?

DATA:

0:00 Introduction: Does fasting cause cardiovascular problems?
1:09 Poor data on intermittent fasting
2:36 Peer-reviewed studies supporting intermittent fasting
4:26 Fasting does not increase cardiovascular risk

Today, we’re going to talk about some of the recent news headlines claiming that fasting can wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system. This information was taken from an abstract (short summary) of an observational study sponsored by the American Heart Association.

The study was based on a 24-hour dietary recall, where participants had to recall everything they ate over a period of time. The author has also conducted observational studies that directly opposed red meat, eggs, and cholesterol.

Credible, peer-reviewed studies have shown numerous benefits of intermittent fasting and show that intermittent fasting actually supports cardiovascular health.

1. A single-blind randomized study examined the long-term effects of time-restricted eating with resistance training over 12 months. Participants saw a significant decrease in body mass, fat mass, and inflammation.

They experienced increased insulin sensitivity and a more balanced lipid profile without adverse effects. Intermittent fasting was deemed safe and effective for improving cardiovascular function.

2. A non-randomized controlled clinical trial for time-restricted feeding and its effect on body composition and cardiovascular risk found that 18 hours of fasting significantly decreased waist circumference and cardiovascular risk.

3. A systematic review of intermittent fasting with cardiometabolic risk factors looked at four randomized controlled trials. The results demonstrated that intermittent fasting significantly reduced body weight, waist circumference, body mass, fat mass, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting insulin levels.

4. One study evaluated a 16-hour fasting eating pattern with an 8-hour eating window on breast cancer survivors for 8 weeks. Results demonstrated a significant decrease in cardiovascular risk.

Fasting is the BIGGEST enemy of the Pharmaceutical industry.

In other words, keep fasting. It's starting to effect their pockets

Being poor we couldn't afford more than 1 meal a day...I just want The American Heart Association to know that we are alive and our hearts are in perfect glory 🙏🏻...

When I stopped watching the news my anxiety and panic attacks dropped to 0.

[nurdan]

As a Muslim I have never heard of anyone dying from a heart attack during Ramadan.

Big pharma board meeting, "People are getting healthy by simply not eating frequently! How do we fix this?", "Let's put out a "study" that tells them to eat more often or die!"
It came out in the local news too. Thank you so much for debunking the misinformation.

If mass media news say something like that, we have to do the opposite 😂

[cierrabennett]

I never thought about how skipping meals would impact not only the pharmaceutical industry but the food industry up until this point. Carry on, people! Let's keep on fasting!

[WĀNAFX]

Hands up if you HATE the media and love this channel because it’s authentic and honest

[charlesmcanally]

I still hear "Fasting will put your body in a starvation mode, and when you eat again it will store it all as fat." Strange that fasting made me leaner than ever.

Since I started intermittent fasting in 2022 November, stopped taking sugar, I'm healthy, no more protruding belly, the mid-section is flat. No more palpitations. Glowing skin. I'm happy

[timcamer]

Big pharma in panic mode. It’s called desperation.

[halleymotek]

As Orthodox Christian I have been fast more than 200 days in a year and I am absolutely healthy and physically fitted. Praise to God!!!

[PsychedelicDude]

The news double your risk of heart attack

[lindsay]

Am a nurse who regularly works on cardiology wards and never met a cardio patient who did I.F. lots of overweight drivers, bad diet, alcohol excess, smokers and no exercise.

[markmay]

I recently went to the cancer wing of a major hospital and I was completely blown away by how busy they were. It was standing room only. An entire wing of a hospital dedicated to just cancer. It made me realize just how profitable cancer and cardiology is to hospitals and big pharma. If we took better care of ourselves through nutrition and exercise an entire industry would collapse.

I was very sad when I saw the title of this video. I’m now at the end of the video and very happy :)
