Chrono-Nutrition Science

Meaning

Chrono-Nutrition Science is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the optimal timing of nutrient intake in relation to the body’s internal circadian rhythms and endogenous hormonal secretion patterns. This discipline recognizes that the metabolic response to food, including glucose disposal, insulin sensitivity, and lipid synthesis, is not static but varies significantly throughout the 24-hour cycle. Clinically, it informs precise dietary strategies aimed at synchronizing food consumption with the natural rhythms of the endocrine and metabolic systems to enhance health outcomes.
