Fasting
“Fasting enables organisms to enter alternative metabolic phases. Restoring a fasting period may be an effective treatment strategy for several chronic diseases… (Fasting regimens) have emerged as potential strategies not just for one disease but for an array of factors that constitutes the foundation for metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and possibly neurodegenerative diseases.”

“The timing of food consumption independent of total caloric intake and macronutrient quality has emerged as a critical factor in maintaining metabolic health. Chronic circadian rhythm disruption increases the risk of metabolic diseases. Conversely, time-restricted feeding sustains robust diurnal rhythms and can alleviate metabolic diseases. These findings offer a new perspective for treating chronic diseases in which metabolic disruption is a hallmark.”

“To our knowledge, no (prior) studies in humans have examined nightly fasting duration and cancer outcomes…Our study introduces a novel dietary intervention strategy and indicates that prolonging the length of the nightly fasting interval could be a simple and feasible strategy to reduce breast cancer recurrence. Findings from this study have broad and significant implications for public health.”
