Over the past 10 to 15 years, intermittent fasting has emerged as an unconventional approach reduce body weight and improve metabolic health beyond simple calorie restriction. In this review, we summarize findings related Ramadan Sunnah fasting. We then discuss role of caloric restriction not only intervention for control, but importantly, a strategy healthy aging longevity. Finally, review four most common (IF) strategies used date management cardiometabolic health. Weight loss is after IF does appear be different than daily when compared directly. may also provide additional benefit, such insulin sensitization, that independent from loss. While no specific regimen stands out superior at time, there indeed heterogeneity in responses these diets. This suggests one dietary ideally suited every individual. Future studies should consider tailoring prescriptions, including IF, based on advanced phenotyping genotyping prior diet initiation.

Background Levels of cortisol, melatonin, ghrelin, and leptin are highly correlated with circadian rhythmicity. The levels these hormones affected by sleep, feeding, general behaviors, fluctuate light dark cycles. During the fasting month Ramadan, a shift to nighttime eating is expected affect rhythm and, subsequently, leptin. present study aimed examine effect diurnal intermittent (DIF) during Ramadan on daytime leptin, cortisol in group overweight obese subjects, determine how anthropometric, dietary, lifestyle changes correlate hormonal changes. Methods Fifty-seven male (40) female (17) subjects were enrolled this study. Anthropometric measurements, dietary intake, sleep duration, serum salivary assessed one week before start after 28 days at fixed times day (11:00 am-1:00 pm). Results At end significantly (P<0.001) decreased, while did not change compared pre-fasting state. Conclusions DIF altered Further, sex anthropometric variables most impacting factors tested four hormones. Further studies needed assess DIF's impact rhythmicity people.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a major public health concern and is associated with substantial global burden of liver-related cardiovascular-related morbidity mortality. High total energy intake coupled unhealthy consumption ultra-processed foods saturated fats have long been regarded as dietary drivers NAFLD. However, there an accumulating body evidence demonstrating that the timing across day also important determinant individual risk for NAFLD metabolic conditions. This review summarises available observational epidemiological data describing associations between eating patterns disease, including negative effects irregular meal patterns, skipping breakfast night-time on health. We suggest these harmful behaviours deserve greater consideration in stratification management patients particularly 24-hour society continuous availability food up to 20% population now engaged shiftwork mistimed patterns. draw studies reporting liver-specific impact Ramadan, which unique real-world opportunity explore physiological fasting. By highlighting from preclinical pilot human studies, we present further biological rationale manipulating improve discuss how this may be mediated through restoration natural circadian rhythms. Lastly, comprehensively landscape trials intermittent fasting time-restricted offer look future about strategies benefit non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

We also effect their interactions on risks. Furthermore, since major differences exists between Ramadan diurnal compared to other forms experimental fasting, in further restricted discussion fasting. PubMed Google Scholar databases were searched using "intermittent fasting", "time-restricted feeding", "fasting", "mealtime", "circadian rhythm," "cardiometabolic risk," focusing human studies published after 2013. Recent evidence indicates meal timing may influence as a result, it directly or indirectly impact risk. humans, several suggested late mealtime is related an increased poor health. Nevertheless, large clinical interventional are required assess causality morbidity. Currently, has beneficial effects reduce disorders such weight reduction, improvement lipid profile glycemic control, reduction proinflammatory markers, oxidative stress. changes daily lifestyle routine, happening during month, affect all measured markers diseases.
