Chrono-nutrition - how important is when you eat?

Modern lifestyles disrupt our natural circadian rhythm through prolonged exposure to artificial light, erratic eating patterns and shift work. Nutrition Bulletin has published (June 2021) a Virtual Issue on chrono-nutrition, an emerging area of research looking at the effects of meal timing on metabolic health and chronic disease risk.
