(WISH) — Many diets focus on what you eat but intermittent fasting focuses on when you eat.

But now we’re learning a type of intermittent fasting called nocturnal fasting may have more benefits than just weight loss.

News 8’s Brittany Noble has details on the new method in Tuesday’s Health Spotlight.
