    An interesting viewpoint appeared in JAMA recently. Enhanced focus on population health is increasingly invoked as a potential solution to persistent problems facing the US healthcare system, including failures to achieve targets, eliminate disparities or function within a sustainable budget. However, effective control of noncommunicable disease requires a comprehensive approach, and new improved guidelines were proposed recently, but their prevention has not been successful thus far. Of note, Professor Halberg revolutionized the field of nutrition by his demonstration that when we eat can make a difference, not only in the laboratory, but also in everyday life. His critical contributions have far-reaching implications. Halberg’s approach, namely chronotherapy with foods, drugs and exercise, as well as with radiotherapy/chemotherapy, deserves renewed interest in view of its promise to reduce costs, increase efficacy and limit adverse effects, in both developing and developed countries
