circadian

Our hormones follow a circadian rhythm, and carbs eaten earlier in the day produce a smaller blood sugar spike compared with carbs eaten later in the day.

“We also learned for the first time that part of the mechanism is a disruption of the circadian rhythm of corticosterone, the stress hormone that produces our well-rounded lives.”

The theory behind time-restricted eating is that it supports the circadian rhythm, or the body’s internal clock.

However, like all living things, plants are subject to a circadian rhythm -- the biological clock that runs through day and night cycles and influences biological processes.

"Understanding precisely how circadian disruption promotes disease progression could lead to behavior modification to reduce cancer risk."
