Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The future of nutrition. A rapidly growing area of research on human health and chronic disease prevention is the field of nutrigenomics, or the study of the interaction of nutrition and genes to prevent disease. The complexity of various nutrient interactions along with genetic variations between individuals make this a challenging area of study. Nevertheless, over the last few decades, research in the area of nutrigenomics and personalized nutrition has shown great promise and potential in the prevention of disease. As a result, the importance of good nutrition is better understood now more than ever and will only grow in the future.Personalized nutrition involves a new approach in evaluating a persons genetics, dietary habits, physical activity, sleep behaviors, and gut microflora. The growth of personalized nutrition demonstrates a shift from the one-size-fits-all nutrition approach to a customized approach that maximizes the health benefits for each person. As nutrigenomic research continues and the effects of food constituents on gene expression are better understood, personalized nutrition will only become more effective. This book provides nutritional guidelines to advise readers about important nutrients for various disorders and stages of life. Readers will be able to make more informed nutritional decisions for themselves, their loved ones, and their patients, and in doing so, they will be one step closer to the future of nutrition.
