Interventions to Reduce Serum Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances Levels, Improve Cardiovascular Risk Profiles, and Improve Epigenetic Age Acceleration in US Firefighters: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

Interventions to Reduce Serum Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances Levels, Improve Cardiovascular Risk Profiles, and Improve Epigenetic Age Acceleration in US Firefighters: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

A recent randomized controlled trial tested the effectiveness of a fasting-mimicking diet (low calorie, low protein, plant-based diet) in improving biological age. After 3 cycles, a cycle being a consecutive 5-day period in a month, biological age was reduced by a median of 2.5 years [19].

Dynamics of Blood Lipids Before, During, and After Diurnal Fasting in Inactive Men: Quasi-Experimental Study

Dynamics of Blood Lipids Before, During, and After Diurnal Fasting in Inactive Men: Quasi-Experimental Study

Ramadan fasting is a form of religious diurnal fasting in which adult Muslims abstain from having food and drink (unless necessary) during the daylight hours, from dawn to sunset. The average diurnal fasting time during Ramadan month is 15 (SD 3) hours per day, depending on the season and the country’s geographical location. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims usually change their daily lifestyle [3,4].

Design and Rationale of Prolonged Nightly Fasting for Multiple Myeloma Prevention (PROFAST): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

Design and Rationale of Prolonged Nightly Fasting for Multiple Myeloma Prevention (PROFAST): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

The PROlonged nightly FASTing (PROFAST) study is a randomized controlled pilot trial investigating the clinical benefit of a 4-month prolonged nightly fasting regimen in individuals with overweight or obesity with MGUS, those with SMM, and those with smoldering Waldenström macroglobulinemia (SWM). The intervention is supported by evidence that prolonged nighttime fasting is not only a simple and sustainable behavior change [16,23] but also improves metabolism and body weight regulation [24-29].

User Engagement and Weight Loss Facilitated by a Mobile App: Retrospective Review of Medical Records

User Engagement and Weight Loss Facilitated by a Mobile App: Retrospective Review of Medical Records

In recent years, intermittent fasting (IF) has become a fairly popular diet option for its supposed benefits to health and, most importantly, its effect on weight loss [1]. The most popular IF plans for weight loss are the 5:2 regime, alternate-day fasting, and time-restricted feeding [2-5]. Whatever the fasting regime, IF has been noted to help lose weight, mainly because it reduces overall caloric intake [6]. A review of IF intervention trials has found that most fasting regimes help lose weight [7].
