A new study has found a link between xanthelasma, fatty lesions near the eye, and an increased risk of heart disease. Researchers analyzing electronic medical records of nearly 18,000 people discovered that those with xanthelasma had a two- to three-times higher risk of cardiovascular events. The lesions contain substances similar to cholesterol, which can contribute to arterial blockage. This finding suggests that the visible skin condition may serve as an early warning sign for potential heart problems.
A recent study compared different intermittent fasting schedules and found that an 8-hour eating window resulted in greater weight loss compared to 12-hour and control groups.

These findings suggest that while shorter eating windows may be beneficial for weight loss, they don't necessarily improve other cardiometabolic health markers.
