Czech doctors recommend consistent sleep schedules and cautious intermittent fasting

Health experts in the Czech Republic stress that going to bed and waking up at the same time each day supports cardiovascular health, stabilises blood pressure and glucose levels, and improves mood and memory. Regular sleep of seven to nine hours, combined with good sleep hygiene, helps synchronise the body's internal clock and reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and mental‑health disorders.

Nutrition specialist Rudolf Pohl explains that intermittent fasting – such as the 16:8 method – can boost insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation and aid weight loss for people with excess weight or metabolic issues. However, he warns that the practice is not suitable for everyone: pregnant or nursing women, children, individuals with eating‑disorder tendencies, athletes with high training loads, or people who have already reached a healthy weight may experience adverse effects. Quality of food during eating windows remains essential, and fasting should be combined with a balanced, natural diet.

Both specialists advise personalising these habits, listening to one's body, and avoiding extreme practices like daily single‑meal fasting without medical supervision.
