Early Time-Restricted Eating for Heart Health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating all your meals in an 8-hour window earlier in the day (like 8 am to 4 pm) can help lower blood pressure and improve heart health in adults over 60. You would skip breakfast less often and eat your main meals earlier than usual.
