Sleep and dietary habits in the urban environment: the role of chrono-nutrition
How Timing of Eating Affects Sleep and Diet in City Life
AI simplified
Abstract
Sleep duration and quality have declined over past decades, particularly in children.
- Dietary patterns have shifted towards more irregular eating habits, including breakfast skipping and late-night eating.
- Increased shift work and meals outside the home may contribute to these dietary changes.
- Chrono-nutrition, which studies the timing of eating, combines nutritional research with biological rhythms.
- There is a potential link between sleep, diet, and urbanization that could affect health outcomes.
- More research is needed to clarify the role of chrono-nutrition in metabolic health and public health.
