Impacts of food habits on metabolism are connected with the circadian clock. The way that people eat is essential for metabolic health. When food habits (timing and number of meals per day) are misaligned with the circadian clock, they prevent an increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disorders, and diabetes. On the other hand, practicing time-restricted fasting where the eating window is aligned with circadian rhythms improves metabolic health.
