What this trial studies

This study compares the effects of an early time-restricted eating window to a habitual eating pattern in two groups: adults with mild, well-controlled asthma and adults without asthma. Over two weeks, participants will alternate between an early eating window and their usual eating times, while keeping their diet the same. They will visit the campus research facility four times, provide saliva, blood, and urine samples, and undergo lung function tests and FeNO measurements, along with questionnaires on activity, sleep timing, and quality of life. The study also includes interviews about asthma symptoms and a weekly food diary. Participants must be between 18 and 65, not on any diet, and able to consent in English.
