Researchers point out that diet should be taken into consideration of body clock to avoid obesity

When thinking about the meal of the day, there should be many people taking a small meal in the morning, a good meal in the day and night. However, considering the human body clock, the researchers showed that taking more meals in the morning or the afternoon could lead to elimination of obesity and the possibility of living a healthy life is high.

Mr. Gerda Pot, a visiting lecturer at the Nutrition Department at King's College London, said that "from the old days breakfast like the king, lunch like the prince, dinner like the poor is taken" , I explained that there was long ago that the idea of ​​eating firmly in the morning and the afternoon and eating a small meal in the evening.

As of 2018, many scientists are trying to verify whether the traditional way of thinking is correct, some of which are paying attention to the relationship between food and biological clock. Mr. Pot, who is studying time nutrition, said: "Our biological clock has the best time to do the individual metabolic processes in a day, for example, the human body is in the night Activity will decline as it goes down, so it is not very good to take lots of meals in the evening. "


Jonathan Johnston, associate professor of time biology and comprehensive physiology at Surrey University, points out "body's energy consumption capacity" as one of the theories to support this. This is based on the idea that the energy that the human body uses to process the meal is more in the morning than in the evening, so that at lunch time to eat the most amount on that day, such as " To eat a high calorie diet at the stage "leads to health. Mr. Johnstone says "By changing the timing of eating, it may lead to improvements in people's health and obesity."

In animal studies it has been shown that having a meal at a specific time has the effect of resetting the body clock, and as of 2018 it has been verified whether this result also applies to people.


Mr. Johnston collected ten male subjects and showed that by delaying the mealtime by 5 hours, the body clock also shifts similarly. "Although this study is small, taking a meal at a certain time may lead to normalizing the" crazy body clock ", says Johnstone.
