Pesco-Mediterranean diet plus fasting optimal for heart

A Pesco-Mediterranean diet rich in plants, nuts, whole grains, extra-virgin olive oil, and fish and/or seafood is ideal for optimizing cardiovascular health, according to a cumulative review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Intermittent fasting is recommended as part of this diet. The study is important because it adds a new wrinkle - limiting daily intake of calories in a specific time window (usually between eight to 12 hours) each day - that may be of interest.
