Physiological effects of time restricted eating on human health on a general and cellular level

Abstract

This thesis explores the systemic and cellular effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) as a dietary intervention. It evaluates the impact of TRE on metabolic health, weight management, cardiovascular function, circadian rhythm alignment, and aging. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study highlights how TRE enhances glycemic control, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity, while promoting cellular processes like autophagy and mitochondrial efficiency. The findings underscore TRE’s potential in preventing chronic diseases and extending healthspan, emphasizing its value in public health and clinical applications.
