How do the types of carbohydrates consumed during different phases of the day affect circadian rhythms and metabolic processes?

The types of carbohydrates consumed during different phases of the day can affect circadian rhythms and metabolic processes by influencing glucose and insulin levels. Consuming carbohydrates in the morning and around exercise can help align with the body’s natural circadian rhythms, optimizing energy use and metabolic function. In contrast, high carbohydrate intake late in the evening can disrupt circadian rhythms and negatively impact sleep quality and metabolic health.
