Abstract :

Metabolic syndrome has become a critical health problem affecting the worldwide populace. The weight loss is indispensable in managing risk factors to metabolic syndrome, and therefore, the strategies that enhance energy balance and weight loss are very valuable elements of dietary recommendations. During the recent past, intermittent fasting (IF) diets have gained a lot of popularity as they have been found to lead to clinically significant weight loss. Such diets normally entail episodes of food intake and abstinence. In conjunction with the body’s control of consumption, blood pressure, and lipid profile, intermittent fasting is also linked to significant loss of weight loss, sometimes in fairly brief intervals between eight and twelve weeks. Time-restricted feeding, in which a person restricts his/her daily caloric intake to 12- 16 hours per day, is one of the most popular types of IF. In particular, Ramadan fasting has been shown to lessen the cardiac demand of hypertensive patients, with or without much change in blood pressure, during and after the fasting period. Similarly to calorie restriction, numerous fixations of intermittent fasting have been shown to be favorable in improving the metabolic and anthropometric health indicators of middle-aged adults.
