Resumo

Our lives take place within a series of chrono-biological rhythms that adapt our physiology to different phases of the day. The most basic is the one known as sleep wakefulness. Circadian rhythms would be the anticipatory form of our biology to adjust our biological rhythm to day and night. But scientific research has been able to discover that this mechanism of circadian oscillations is responsible for other regulations, such as hunger, mood, stress, cardiac function or immunity that go beyond the rhythm of sleep. The most recent research suggests that chrono-disruption may be involved in the development of chronic diseases such as cardio-metabolic, neurodegenerative and cancer. The concept of central clock located in the supra-chiasmatic nucleus in connection with peripheral clocks and controlled by light-sensitive genes, is the new paradigm. Paying attention to biorhythms matters. Therefore, independent of our genes, lifestyles can change the chrono-biological rhythm in a disruptive way that has an important impact on our health and on the feeling of well-being. Our hours of eating can defend or stimulate the bad genes responsible for chronic diseases.
