The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of time-restricted feeding (eating within an 8-hour window) for improving physiological function (vascular, motor, cognitive and metabolic function) in healthy middle-aged and older adults.
Overall, the proposed research project has the long-term potential to influence clinical practice by establishing novel therapies for treating multiple domains of age-associated physiological dysfunction and thereby reducing the risk of clinical disease and disability.
