Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics is a field of study that investigates how individual genetic variations influence responses to nutrients and dietary patterns. By analyzing interactions between genes and nutrients, nutrigenomics aims to personalize nutrition recommendations for optimal health outcomes. This emerging discipline explores how genetic factors affect metabolism, nutrient absorption, and susceptibility to diet-related diseases. Ultimately, nutrigenomics seeks to revolutionize nutrition and healthcare by tailoring dietary interventions to individuals' genetic makeup, potentially reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.
