People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window excreted more salt in their urine compared to those who only followed the DASH diet.

Scientific Claim

Time-restricted eating combined with DASH diet significantly increased 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (p < 0.01) in stage 1 hypertensive patients over 6 weeks, with no significant change observed in the DASH-only group.

Original Statement

“the urinary Na+ excretion after DASH + TRE intervention had a significant increase in the whole day, including daytime and nighttime... However, after 6 weeks there was no change of night urinary Na+ excretion in the DASH group.”
