Intermittent Fasting Threatens Life

Intermittent Fasting Threatens Life

Recently, many people around us are practicing intermittent fasting to reduce body fat and maintain health. The 16:8 intermittent fasting method, which maintains a 16-hour fasting period, is popular.

The research team led by Victor Wenze Zhong from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine reportedly obtained unexpected results while studying how intermittent fasting changes the body healthily. They found that the 16:8 intermittent fasting method could significantly increase mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases.

Analysis of the eating habits of 20,000 American adults from 2003 to 2018 showed that those who practiced 16:8 intermittent fasting had a 91% higher mortality rate from heart disease compared to those with regular eating habits.

For those with underlying cardiovascular diseases, intermittent fasting increased the mortality rate from heart disease or stroke by 66%, and cancer patients also showed increased mortality rates when practicing intermittent fasting.

While the cause of these fatal problems brought on by fasting hasn't been identified, it was observed that people who practice intermittent fasting tend to have less muscle mass, which could be related to the increased cardiovascular mortality rate.
