Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Time-restricted feeding (TRF) has emerged as a promising approach to improving metabolic health and longevity, with growing evidence suggesting that the timing of food intake plays a pivotal role in regulating biological processes. This Special Issue seeks to explore the intersection between TRF and human health, focusing on its effects across a range of physiological systems, including metabolic function, circadian rhythms, weight management, and the prevention of chronic disease.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of current research, examining the underlying mechanisms through which TRF influences human health, as well as the potential clinical applications and public health implications of this dietary strategy. We welcome original research, reviews, and meta-analyses that explore the benefits and challenges associated with TRF in diverse populations, including those with obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and aging.
This field holds the potential to significantly improve public health, particularly as the prevalence of metabolic diseases continues to rise. As such, this Special Issue will highlight novel findings, methodological advances, and the translation of TRF interventions into clinical practice. We invite researchers to contribute to this dynamic and rapidly growing area of study, shaping the future of nutritional strategies for the promotion of health and well-being.
