A Journey from personalized medicine to personalized nutrition: Are we ready? Knowing your GENES

Dilip Ghosh

Personalisation of nutrition advice is often proposed as one of the most promising approaches. In recent years most of the health intervention research and methods on the effect of personalisation show that advice targeted to an individual’s physical parameters, lifestyle and environmental situation is more effective in influencing their health behaviour than general information. Dietary intake has been recognised to modulate gene and protein expression, and thereby metabolic pathways, homeostatic regulation, and presumably health and disease.
