Time-Restricted Fasting May Help With Fertility Issues
Recent studies have suggested that time-restricted fasting, or eating within specific hours each day, could help reduce fertility problems. In a new study, researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have found that time-restricted fasting can improve fertility in mice, and could potentially be a useful tool for improving fertility and reproductive health in humans.
Time-restricted fasting has become increasingly popular among dieters in recent years, and the health benefits are well-documented. Now, researchers have found that time-restricted fasting could also help improve fertility. In a study with mice, researchers found that mice who fasted for 16 hours a day had improved fertility, with fewer egg defects and improved egg quality. The researchers suggest that this could be due to the fact that fasting improves the metabolic environment of the ovary, which is important for fertility.
