Can intermittent fasting improve heart health?

Intermittent fasting may help people lose weight and improve their cholesterol levels and other heart-related risks. One form of intermittent fasting is time-restricted eating, during which people eat only during a certain time window (usually eight hours) each day. Another approach, alternate-day fasting, involves fasting or significantly limiting calories for one or two days per week. But it’s hard to maintain over the long run due to the challenges of following a strict eating schedule while juggling various work, family, and social commitments.
