Circadian regulation of appetite and time restricted feeding: Food intake and time restricted feeding
2020, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :During the night shift, workers are exposed to prolonged hours of artificial light and increased activity. There are also changes in feeding patterns with shift workers tending to schedule their meals around their working hours resulting in increased food intake during the normal resting phase [132–135]. Further, on days off shift workers revert back to a more social daytime schedule; imposing a jet-lag paradigm as the central and peripheral clocks try to adjust to the new schedule.
The endogenous circadian clock programs animals to eat at certain times of the 24-hour day: What if we ignore the clock?
2018, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :According to a 2004 survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 17.7% of US workers usually work alternate shifts that fall at least partially outside the daytime shift range [52]. The irregular work schedule is often associated with eating at a time of the day when a person would normally not be eating [53,54]. Thus, the frequent occurrence of eating at the wrong time of day, in addition to factors such as unhealthy diets and insufficient sleep, could contribute to the higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases observed in shift workers [53,55].
Diet and cancer: A dysfunction of the brain
2018, The Role of Functional Food Security in Global HealthThe effects of rotating and extended night shift work on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components
2019, Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In addition to circadian rhythm and Melatonin disturbances, in other studies emphasized on irregular eating habits as an important mechanism. Redistribution of food consumption among night shift workers caused these workers in comparison to fixed day shift workers consume higher foods at night [39]. The desynchronization of food intake and internal metabolic rhythm may affect the rhythmicity of glucose and triglycerides [40,41]; As a result, abdominal fat deposits and dyslipidemias increase [42].
