How fasting can affect cancer treatment | OSUCCC – James

Intermittent fasting research could lead to improved quality of life for cancer patients during treatment.

Intermittent fasting has been a big topic in the health and wellness community for several years, so researchers have been working to determine how different types of restricted eating affects the body.

“When we talk about intermittent fasting that we specifically study in research, it’s alternating between eating and not eating, and that might take place over a period of hours within a certain day and repeated every day,” says Faiza Kalam, PhD, MS, the director of Food, Activity, Sleep and Time (FAST) Lab at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
