Can skipping meals calm your mind? a study tests fasting for Women's stress
NCT ID NCT05628727
Summary
This study aimed to learn if two different intermittent fasting diets could reduce psychological stress and improve brain health in women. It involved 6 women with mild-to-high stress levels who followed either a two-day-per-week fast or an 8-hour daily eating window for 8 weeks, compared to a control group. Researchers measured stress, mood, memory, sleep, and body changes through surveys, brain tests, and blood work to see if fasting helped.
