The health benefits of intermittent fasting. Really!

I believe intermittent fasting for its health benefits has been recognized and recommended for several decades at least!

"In 2018, Courtney Peterson published what proved to be a landmark paper in the burgeoning field of intermittent fasting [???]. The study, which found that pre-diabetic men could dramatically improve their blood sugar control by eating during a shorter daily window starting in the early morning, has now been cited more than 1,600 times according to Google Scholar. It also jump started her career: She now leads one of the largest randomized controlled trials of intermittent fasting in humans, in addition to other studies looking at how intermittent fasting and meal timing may benefit aspects of cardiometabolic health including weight loss, blood sugar, blood pressure, aging, and even cancer prognosis."
