Why time-restricted eating is beneficial for health | Dr. Satchin Panda

Time-restricted eating – a term coined by Dr. Panda and his colleagues – has been adopted by the popular press as a form of intermittent fasting. It does not explicitly involve reducing calories but rather is an eating pattern wherein a person confines the time of day that they eat to a limited window and fasts for the remainder of the day. Preclinical data indicate that feeding animals in a restricted window has beneficial effects on metabolic health – even in overweight animals eating a poor diet. Randomized clinical trials are ongoing to investigate whether the same benefits will be observed in a real-world setting in humans. Consuming, digesting, and metabolizing food generates reactive molecules that can damage cellular components, including DNA. Fundamental to the benefits associated with time-restricted eating is the concept of allowing the body time apart from eating to rest, repair and rejuvenate itself. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda explains the rationale behind the metabolic benefits associated with time-restricted eating.

THANK YOU!!! I absolutely LOVE Dr. Rhonda Patrick!!! I really appreciate all this incredible information!!!

There’s a bit of an issue in comparing mice to humans, after all mice sleep for 15 hours compared to humans 8 hours, nearly half.

The stomach vastly slows down when sleepy or sleeping. If you force late evening eaters to vomit when they wake up, you would still see some of their meal.

[windar]

how did they force the time restricted eating mice to eat 100% during 8 hours, when they normaly would only eat 85%?
i'm assuming they took the food away after 8h and sooner or later the mice were hungy enough to eat 100% during the 8h.

Sounds great but I wonder since mice are high metabolism creatures does that mean as humans we have to fast for significantly longer periods of time to see these benefits?
