Biological Clocks: Timing Your Nutritional Intake

The science of **Chrononutrition** reveals that it is not just *what* we eat, but *when* we eat. Our body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) regulates enzymatic production and hormonal sensitivity, which directly impacts how nutrients are partitioned during the day.

Research suggests that a consistent sleep-wake cycle allows the liver and pancreas to enter a "recovery mode," essential for resetting sensitivity to key metabolic signals. Disruptions in these rhythms often correlate with lower energy efficiency and higher systemic stress.
