Time Restricted Eating May Beneficial For Blood Glucose

These days many people are following time-restricted eating (TRE) for weight loss. Well, time-restricted eating is a kind of diet that focuses on the timing of eating. Rather than limiting the types of food or number of calories that people consume. This regime limits the amount of time they can spend eating.

However, did you know that TRE can be a great Diabetes Treatment since it manages blood glucose levels and keep diabetes in control? Yes, that's correct! If the findings of a recent study are to be considered, TRE is beneficial for blood glucose. 

Researchers analysed the effects of TRE in 15 men for seven days. The men, who were at high risk of developing type-2 diabetes, limited their food intake to a nine-hour period per day. According to Leonie Heilbronn, lead author of the study the blood glucose level of each participant was assessed for all seven days during the study.

The experts also found that following TRE improved their glucose level, regardless of when the participants chose to stop eating.

The results suggest that modulating when, rather than what, we eat can improve glucose control. A tiny amount of weight loss has also been observed in this study, which may have contributed to the results.
