Chrononutrition Explained: Why When You Eat Matters for Metabolic Health

Chrononutrition research indicates that eating later in the evening or at night, when circadian physiology is less favorable for glucose handling, can worsen postprandial metabolism and, over time, relate to higher cardiometabolic risk. Strategies such as earlier meal timing and early time-restricted eating may improve insulin responsiveness and support cardiovascular risk reduction.
