Editing Jet lag (section)

=== Obesity and type 2 Diabetes ===
Constant disruption caused by chronic jet lag can cause complications to the daily metabolic cycle of an individual due to a hinted link between circadian rhythm and [[Metabolism|metabolic]]/epigenetic mechanisms.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Stenvers |first1=Dirk Jan |last2=Scheer |first2=Frank A.

The multiple disruptions of the circadian clock due to chronic jet lag alter eating habits causing irregular eating times, over/under eating, and metabolic inconsistencies that lead to a higher risk of [[type 2 diabetes]] and obesity.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sato |first1=Tomoki |last2=Sato |first2=Shogo |title=Circadian Regulation of Metabolism: Commitment to Health and Diseases |journal=Endocrinology |date=6 June 2023 |volume=164 |issue=7 |doi=10.1210/endocr/bqad086 |pmid=37253106 }}</ref>
