Nutritional genomics

Nutritional genomics is the study of how our genes interact with the foods we eat. It examines how diet can influence gene expression and how genetic differences affect our nutritional needs and responses to food. This field aims to personalize nutrition based on an individual's genetic makeup, potentially improving health outcomes by tailoring dietary recommendations. Understanding these interactions can help in preventing diseases and enhancing overall well-being, as it acknowledges that one-size-fits-all dietary advice may not be effective for everyone.
