Abstract
Dysfunction of the circadian clock is associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
- Circadian clock dysfunction can arise from factors such as jet lag or night-shift work.
- Breakfast skipping and late-night meals are identified as independent risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
- Meal timing influences the phase of the peripheral clock, with breakfast potentially advancing it and late dinners delaying it.
- Certain foods and nutrients, including caffeine and polyphenols, may play a role in regulating the circadian clock.
- Time-restricted eating may impact metabolism and associated diseases.
- Personalized chrono-nutrition aims to leverage technology like AI and sensors to provide tailored dietary recommendations.
