Intermittent Fasting Doubles Your Risk of Dying from a Heart Attack

Recent news reports have claimed that intermittent fasting can lead to cardiovascular death. What’s the truth?

DATA:

0:00 Introduction: Does fasting cause cardiovascular problems?
1:09 Poor data on intermittent fasting
2:36 Peer-reviewed studies supporting intermittent fasting
4:26 Fasting does not increase cardiovascular risk

Today, we’re going to talk about some of the recent news headlines claiming that fasting can wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system. This information was taken from an abstract (short summary) of an observational study sponsored by the American Heart Association.

The study was based on a 24-hour dietary recall, where participants had to recall everything they ate over a period of time. The author has also conducted observational studies that directly opposed red meat, eggs, and cholesterol.

Credible, peer-reviewed studies have shown numerous benefits of intermittent fasting and show that intermittent fasting actually supports cardiovascular health.

1. A single-blind randomized study examined the long-term effects of time-restricted eating with resistance training over 12 months. Participants saw a significant decrease in body mass, fat mass, and inflammation.

They experienced increased insulin sensitivity and a more balanced lipid profile without adverse effects. Intermittent fasting was deemed safe and effective for improving cardiovascular function.

2. A non-randomized controlled clinical trial for time-restricted feeding and its effect on body composition and cardiovascular risk found that 18 hours of fasting significantly decreased waist circumference and cardiovascular risk.

3. A systematic review of intermittent fasting with cardiometabolic risk factors looked at four randomized controlled trials. The results demonstrated that intermittent fasting significantly reduced body weight, waist circumference, body mass, fat mass, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting insulin levels.

4. One study evaluated a 16-hour fasting eating pattern with an 8-hour eating window on breast cancer survivors for 8 weeks. Results demonstrated a significant decrease in cardiovascular risk.

      @@sarahjaye4117 In 2016 I was diagnosed with severe allergies. I had one of those tests where they poke you with 100 needles. I was told I was allergic to 2 types of grass and 4 types of trees that grow in this area. The doctor wanted to put me on steriods and give me immunotherapy shots but they said I would have to do it every week for potentially a couple of years and it MIGHT work, meanwhile I would have had to take heavy amounts of steroids every time I went for the shots. I felt this was too dangerous so the Doctor advised that I take Zyrtec and Flonase daily (I took generic for Flonase). I took the allergy meds every day for eight straight years. I started changing my diet this year. Really making big changes overall, so I decided to start cutting out all medications including the omeprazole. I am off 2 out of 3 meds so far but still dealing with withdrawal symptoms. I am dropping the Zyrtec next. As for Flonase withdrawal I’m mostly dealing with some minor itchy feeling on my skin and I am having some fatigue that lasts about half the day. I should be clear of symptoms of the omeprazole withdrawal within two weeks and the flonase within 7 days

I lost between 5 to 10 lbs (went from 120+ lbs. to ~ 110 to 115 lbs.), and have kept it off for all of this time (I’m even lower weight now). From you, a few years ago, I realized that I was “intermittent fasting” without knowing it. I am a healthy, senior citizen who loves to dance and stay active without any CV or knowable health problems.
