Circadian eating:
Circadian misalignment is typical among shift-workers.
Internal circadian rhythms play a large role in physiology and overall health.
Lifestyle (eating and sleeping pattern) can promote or disrupt circadian rhythms.
Disrupted circadian rhythms compromise health and increase the risk of disease.
We response differently to food based on the time of the day we eat it.
Our insulin sensitivity is higher in the morning hours.
Symptoms of circadian misalignment can be similar to a jet-lag.
