Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics is the study of how specific nutrients in food interact with the human body at genetic, molecular and cellular levels to influence health. It seeks to unravel the relationship between nutrition, genes and health. Nutrigenomics is used for the purpose of developing personalized nutrition plans and dietary recommendations that are tailored to individual’s unique genetic makeup. Nutrigenomics may help in reducing the risk of certain diseases, improving overall health and optimizing performance. Its potential applications are not just confined to nutrition, but also extend to lifestyle and medical management, as well as to the development of precision medicines and nutraceuticals. In a world increasingly driven by personalized medicine, Nutrigenomics has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about nutrition, health and nutrition-based interventions.
