Investigating the Impact of Early Time-Restricted Eating on Health Outcomes and Quality of Life in Adults With Mild Controlled Asthma Compared to Healthy Adults

Conditions studied

Asthma Management, Time Restricted Eating

About this study

This study aims to explore how early time-restricted eating (eTRE) - where all daily meals are eaten within a specific time window - affects health and quality of life in adults. The researchers will compare results between adults with mild, well-controlled asthma and adults without asthma (non-asthma group). Participants can continue to eat their normal food; only the timing of meals will change.

Interventions

• Other: Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) and Habitual Diet (HD) — The participants who are assigned to eTRE will be asked to eat from 8 am to 4 pm without restriction on the quantity or amount of food and fast for the rest of the time except for drinking water for one week. After a minimum of two weeks washout period, participants will be asked to follow their habitual diet for one week.
