This paper discusses the effect of chrononutrition on the regulation of circadian rhythms; in particular, that of chocolate on the resynchronization of the human internal biological central and peripheral clocks with the main external synchronizers, light-dark cycle and nutrition-fasting cycle. The desynchronization of internal clocks with external synchronizers, which is so frequent in our modern society due to the tight rhythms imposed by work, social life, and technology, has a negative impact on our psycho-physical performance, well-being, and health. Taking small amounts of chocolate, in the morning at breakfast at the onset of the active phase, helps speed up resynchronization time. The high flavonoid contents in chocolate promote cardioprotection, metabolic regulation, neuroprotection, and neuromodulation with direct actions on brain function, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and mood. Although the mechanisms of action of chocolate compounds on brain function and mood as well as on the regulation of circadian rhythms have yet to be fully understood, data from the literature currently available seem to agree in suggesting that chocolate intake, in compliance with chrononutrition, could be a strategy to reduce the negative effects of desynchronization. This strategy appears to be easily implemented in different age groups to improve work ability and daily life.
本文探讨了时间营养对生物钟调节的影响;特别是巧克力对人体内部生物钟中枢和外周时钟与主要外部同步器(光-暗周期和营养-禁食周期)重新同步的影响。由于工作、社交生活和技术带来的紧张节奏,我们现代社会中内部时钟与外部同步器经常不同步,这对我们的心理生理表现、幸福感和健康产生负面影响。在早上活动期开始时吃少量巧克力有助于加快重新同步的时间。巧克力中的高黄酮含量通过对大脑功能、神经发生、血管生成和情绪的直接作用,促进心脏保护、代谢调节、神经保护和神经调节。尽管巧克力化合物对大脑功能和情绪以及对生物钟调节的作用机制尚未完全了解,但目前文献中的数据似乎一致表明,遵循时间营养原则摄入巧克力可能是减轻失同步负面影响的一种策略。这种策略似乎可以在不同年龄段轻松实施,以提高工作能力和日常生活质量。
