Clinical Study
Circadian Timing and Chronic Disease
Circadian timing is when a person's daily behaviors occur such as eating and sleeping. Circadian timing may affect a persons health and well-being. Research is needed to learn if improving circadian timing impacts body metabolism (how a person processes and uses food). Which may lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The research we gain may aid future patients.
