Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, November 29, 2022 1:30 PM Chrononutrition is a relatively new specialty in the fields of nutrition and biology that tries to understand how the timing of food ingestion affects health. The central idea here is that metabolic health, cardiovascular health, and body composition come down not just to what and how much we eat but also when we eat. You are, of course, aware that our bodies operate on a roughly 24-hour rhythm governed by circadian clocks. The sleep-wake cycle is the most obvious example. Many other aspects of human biology are also governed by 24-hour clocks operating both in the central nervous system and the peripheral organs and tissues. Chrononutrition seeks to answer two broad and related questions: How do the body's natural clocks affect food choices and metabolism? How does food timing affect circadian rhythmicity and, consequently, various health markers? The latter is particularly relevant to people who, probably like you, strive to make food, movement, and lifestyle decisions to maximize their health and longevity. Although the topic of chrononutrition has only gained traction within the past decade, evidence increasingly suggests that we may be able to manipulate food timing to improve well-being. Today, I'll briefly review the underlying premise of chrononutrition and return to a question that has come up many times in our community: Should I be eating or skipping breakfast if my goal is optimal health now and for decades to come? Chrononutrition 101 Here's what you need to know to understand chrononutrition: First, many biological functions are guided by central and peripheral clocks. I already mentioned sleep-wake. Body temperature is another example. Body temperature peaks in the afternoon and decreases overnight, hitting its nadir in the early morning hours. More to the point of this post, many aspects of metabolism also operate on a circadian rhythm. These include Saliva production Gastric emptying and gut motility (the movement of food through the digestive tract) The release of digestive enzymes Nutrient absorption Beta cell function (insulin release from the pancreas) Glucose tolerance Hunger Second, that elusive and enigmatic target we call "health" depends on proper circadian rhythm alignment—everything happening when it should. Research shows, for example, that circadian misalignment, as happens with shift work and eating at the wrong times, leads to impaired immune function. Third, we stay "on time" thanks in part to behaviors that tell the body's clocks what time it is. These behaviors, like sleeping at night and getting early morning sun exposure, are called zeitgebers. Eating at the proper times is another zeitgeber that keeps our circadian rhythms aligned, contributing to physiologic homeostasis. Conversely, eating (or sleeping or getting light exposure) at the wrong times causes misalignment and dysfunction. The implication, then, is that we can use what we know about the body's natural rhythms to figure out the best and worst times to eat, and the consequences of getting it wrong. That's chrononutrition. So What ARE the Right and Wrong Times to Eat? There are few things that scientists agree on, but I bet you'd be … Continue reading "What is Chrononutrition?"
