Abstract

Chrononutrition, the study of how the timing of meals impacts health by aligning with the body’s circadian rhythms, is increasingly recognized for its influence on metabolic regulation. This review examines the scientific foundation of chrononutrition, focusing on key research surrounding meal timing, circadian disruption, and their effects on metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Findings from both clinical trials and animal studies indicate that irregular eating schedules can disturb circadian rhythms, resulting in impaired glucose metabolism, increased fat accumulation, and hormonal imbalances. This review also identifies critical gaps in the current research, highlighting the potential for chrononutrition-based strategies in preventing and managing disease.
