Abstract
Light is the most powerful reference of time for the circadian time system; however, it is well-known that non-photic cues also provide meaningful information to track time. Mealtime, physical activity, and social interactions are among the non-photic cues capable of synchronizing the biological clocks. Aging is associated with decline of the circadian time system and changes in the pattern of feeding, sleep, and social interactions. Aging-induced habits disturb the human circadian system primarily by decreasing the amplitude of circadian rhythms. Concerns about dietary composition and an active lifestyle should come together with eating and activity timing to better influence health and longevity. Thus, this chapter brings some insights of how non-photic cues matter in healthy aging.
