In the latest research published in March 2024, it is about an interesting aspect of our health, which many of us may not have seen as essential: the timing of our meals. It was examined how the times we eat, our heart health and our metabolism can influence, an area that is regulated by our internal clock or circadian rhythm. This branch of research, known as Chrononutrition, shows that it is not only important for what we eat, but also when we eat.

The researchers found that the optimal time for food intake is between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. in the morning, 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. at noon and between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. They recommend an energy -rich breakfast, medium lunch and an energy -free dinner, whereby these recommendations can be adapted to the chronotype and the genetic factors of the individual. This approach could serve as a new therapeutic strategy in particular in traditional European medicine (TEM) to optimize digestion and metabolism - processes that are described in TEM with the term "Cection".

The implications of this research are diverse. On the one hand, it could lead to a significant change in the nutritional recommendations by not only focusing on the food quality, but also the timing. Furthermore, this approach could represent a personalized nutritional strategy that is tailored to the individual, based on its chronotype and genetic peculiarities.

For better understanding of some basic terms:

  • Zirkadiane rhythm: Our inner clockwork, which controls our daily rhythm of sleep and wax, as well as many metabolic processes.
  • chrononutrition: A research field that examines how the timing of our meals influences our body and its functions.
  • Traditional European Medicine (TEM): A historically grown medicine that has arisen in Europe and focuses on natural healing methods and holistic approaches.
  • Coction: a term from the TEM that describes digestion and metabolism.
  • chronotype: an individual pattern that defines our preferred sleep rhythm and our performance throughout the day.

Research indicates that our eating habits may play a larger role than previously assumed, not only for general health, but also for specific aspects such as cardiovascular health and metabolism. The integration of these knowledge into our daily routine could bring considerable health benefits in the long term.

Optimal time window for energy consumption in the context of traditional European medicine for cardiometabolic health

The time planning of meals plays a crucial role in cardiometabolic health, since the cardiometabolic function of Zirkadian is regulated. In traditional European medicine (TEM), as far as is known, there is no concept for the schedule of meals. This narrative review aims to define the optimal time for energy intake and optimal energy distribution over the day in the context of the TEM and to research further implications.

Based on a literature research that was carried out between 2002 and 2022, optimal time windows were identified for energy intake. The data suggests that the ideal time frame for the energy consumption is between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. A high energy intake for breakfast, a medium energy supply for lunch and a low energy supply for dinner is recommended. Possible adjustments according to the chronotype and the genetics of the individual could continue to be important.

In addition, the schedule and distribution of energy intake could serve as a new therapeutic strategy to optimize the cection - a term from TEM that describes digestion and metabolism.

essential knowledge and implications:

  • Optimal timing for the energy consumption was identified at 06:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
  • The recommended energy distribution includes an energetic breakfast, a medium lunch and an energy -free dinner.
  • adjustments to the chronotype and the genetic predispositions of the individual can require additional fine tuning.
  • The scheduling of meals could act as a therapeutic strategy to optimize the cection within the tem.

These findings underline the importance of chrononutrition within the TEM and offer potential starting points for the promotion of cardiometabolic health through targeted meal planning. Further studies in this area could lead to the development of specific guidelines for the time planning and distribution of food intake, which could have far -reaching implications for prevention and treatment cardiometabolical diseases.
