Exploring the role of nutrition in alleviating circadian disruption-related consequences

Circadian disruption is a disturbance in biological timing, which may occur in the form of molecular rhythm desynchrony to behavioral cycle misalignment towards a changing environment. Lifestyle factors such as working at night, irregular sleep, and irregular or mistimed dietary intake induced circadian disruption and its biological consequences such as deterioration of glucose homeostasis, poorer cognitive ability, and increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study will try to elucidate the role of nutrition, in terms of food or nutrient intake, the frequency of meal consumption, and dietary patterns in alleviating circadian disruption-related consequences.
