Shifting calorie intake to earlier in the day may improve glucose metabolism, according to a study involving 89 healthy adult twins. Researchers assessed dietary habits, oral glucose tolerance, and sleep patterns to understand the impact of meal timing on metabolic health. The study found that a later caloric midpoint was linked to increased insulin resistance, higher BMI, and larger waist circumference, suggesting misalignment with circadian rhythms. While genetics play a role in eating timing, the potential for earlier calorie consumption to enhance metabolic outcomes warrants further investigation.
