Abstract

Approximately half of all cardiometabolic deaths in the US are linked to modifiable dietary factors.

Chrononutrition explores how the timing of food intake affects circadian rhythms and health.
Aligning eating patterns with the body's internal clock may optimize metabolic processes.
Dietary changes could lead to significant improvements in lifespan and quality of life.
Social media influences various aspects of chrononutrition, including eating habits and cultural norms.
This special issue aims to enhance understanding of chrononutrition and encourage future research on cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Chrononutrition is the field of nutritional science that investigates the relationship between food intake, timing of food intake, and their effects and influence on circadian rhythms and overall health. By aligning eating patterns with body's internal clock, optimisation of metabolic processes, improvements of various aspects of health can be achieved. Cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Notably, in the US alone, approximately half of all cardiometabolic deaths are attributed to modifiable dietary factors, suggesting that dietary changes could result in dramatic increases in lifespan and its related quality of life. Social media have also a great impact on chrononutrition and their role cannot be neglected. The impact of social media on chrononutrition can be multifaceted: information dissemination, influence on eating habits, digital detox challenges, cultural influence and social jet lag. This special issue will provide novel insights and clarifications on chrononutrition, but also on additional controversial topics. The articles we selected should promote future preclinical and clinical studies to ultimately identify the most appropriate approaches to reduce the unacceptable high burden of CV and metabolic diseases.
