Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) and Habitual Diet (HD)Habitual Diet (HD) and Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE)
What this trial is about
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.
