The Benefits of Time-Restricted Eating

Time-restricted eating, where you limit your eating window to about 10 hours a day, can have numerous benefits. It allows your gut microbes to clean up and repair, reduces inflammation levels, improves mood and energy, and can help with weight loss. It is important to focus on a diverse range of plants and incorporate fermented foods for a healthy gut. Additionally, it is advised to prioritize high-quality, whole foods over ultra-processed options.
