The Claim
In patients with a history of myocardial infarction, 2 weeks of time-restricted eating (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) reduces GlycA levels by approximately 15%, a biomarker of chronic systemic inflammation predictive of cardiovascular events.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In people who have had a heart attack, eating only between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. for two weeks lowers GlycA levels by about 15%. GlycA is a blood marker that reflects ongoing inflammation linked to heart disease risk.

Eating only during an early window each day causes the body to burn fat for fuel overnight, producing ketones. These ketones enter immune cells called neutrophils and block a key inflammation switch, reducing their activation and stickiness. At the same time, lower sugar and fat levels in the blood change how immune cells read their genes, turning down genes that drive inflammation. Together, these changes lower a blood marker of chronic inflammation called GlycA.
What the research says
1 studyFor people who had a heart attack, eating only between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. for two weeks lowered a blood marker of inflammation called GlycA by 15%, which the study measured directly. This means their body’s long-term inflammation went down, which is good for heart health.
