Abstract

Fasting diets have gained popularity for their potential health benefits, including weight loss and improved metabolic outcomes. However, emerging evidence suggests that the implications of these diets may extend beyond the individual, impacting future generations. This abstract provides an overview of the emerging concerns regarding the potential harm fasting diets may pose to the health of subsequent generations. Fasting diets, characterized by intermittent fasting, timerestricted eating, or extended periods of caloric restriction, have been studied extensively for their effects on metabolism and longevity. While initial research has shown promising results in terms of weight management and certain health markers, recent studies in animal models have raised concerns about the trans generational impact of these dietary patterns. Research findings indicate that fasting diets may induce changes in epigenetic modifications and alterations in gene expression that can be inherited by offspring. These modifications have the potential to influence susceptibility to metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, in subsequent generations. Furthermore, evidence suggests that fasting diets might affect reproductive health, potentially leading to adverse outcomes in future offspring. This abstract calls for a critical examination of the long-term consequences of fasting diets and emphasizes the importance of a holistic understanding of their potential effects, including those on future generations. It underscores the need for further research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying transgenerational impacts and to inform dietary recommendations that consider the broader health implications of these popular dietary practices. As fasting diets continue to gain momentum, a comprehensive understanding of their effects on both current and future generations is essential for promoting health and well-being.
