An Eight-Hour Eating Window Nudged Two Cognitive Tests
A 47-woman pilot trial found modest planning and problem-solving gains beyond similar weight loss.
Summary
A 47-woman pilot trial found modest planning and problem-solving gains beyond similar weight loss.
At NUTRITION 2026, researchers reported that older women assigned to an 8-to-9-hour eating window improved spatial planning and problem-solving more than women eating across about 12 hours, although both groups lost similar weight. The small preliminary study found no clear advantage for multitasking or reaction time and needs replication.
