Chronobiology Nutrition

Meaning

Chronobiology Nutrition is the specialized field of dietary science that studies the influence of the timing of nutrient intake on the body’s internal biological clocks and metabolic rhythms. It is the practice of aligning eating patterns with the circadian system to optimize digestion, nutrient assimilation, hormonal secretion, and overall metabolic function. This approach recognizes that the efficiency of metabolic processes is not constant throughout the 24-hour cycle but rather is rhythmically controlled by endogenous clocks.
