Nutrigenomics: Tailoring Nutrition Based on Genes
This review explores the emerging field of nutri genomics, which integrates genomics and nutrition to tailor dietary recommendations based on individual genetic profiles. Nutrigenomics promises to revolutionize personalized nu trition by providing insights into how genetic variations influence dietary responses and predispositions to various diseases. This review also explores the scientific foundations of nutrigenomics, including gene–nutrient interactions and the technological advances that facilitate personalized dietary strategies. It also examines the practical applications in disease prevention, particularly focusing on conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the review addresses the ethical, legal, and social implications of applying genetic information to nutrition, highlighting the challenges and potential for socioeconomic disparities in access to nutrigenomic services. By offering a comprehensive overview of both the transformative potential and the complexities of nutrigenomics, this review underscores its significance in advancing personalized healthcare and preventive medicine.
