Time-restricted eating for improving blood pressure in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating only during a 10-hour window each day (and fasting for 14-16 hours overnight) can lower blood pressure and improve heart health in older adults with elevated blood pressure. You would meet with researchers, follow the eating schedule for a while, and have your blood pressure and other health measures tracked.
