People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window saw their nighttime blood pressure drop more significantly compared to daytime levels after six weeks.

Scientific Claim

In stage 1 hypertensive patients, combining DASH diet with 8-hour time-restricted eating improved the nocturnal blood pressure dip, increasing the systolic blood pressure reduction between 10:00 and 22:00 from 6.98% to 9.75% over 6 weeks.

Original Statement

“The decrease in SBP at 22 o'clock compared with 10 o'clock increased from 6.979% to 9.753% in the DASH + TRE group after intervention.”

Similar Assertions

For people with mild high blood pressure, eating all meals within an 8-hour window while following the DASH diet lowers blood pressure more than just the DASH diet alone over six weeks.

89%

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.

81%

People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window while following the DASH diet lost about 4 kilograms over six weeks, while those who only followed the DASH diet didn't lose weight.

80%

People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window were slightly more likely to feel hungry at night compared to those who only followed the DASH diet.

79%

When people with mild high blood pressure followed the DASH diet and ate within an 8-hour window, those who lost more fluid around their cells also had bigger drops in their blood pressure.
