Nutrigenomics is a cutting-edge field of nutritional science that studies the complex interactions between an individual's genetic makeup and their diet, specifically investigating how food components affect gene expression and, conversely, how genetic variations influence the body's response to nutrients. This discipline operates on the premise that our DNA is not a fixed fate, but rather a blueprint whose expression can be modulated by what we eat, meaning specific nutrients can act as signals to turn genes "on" or "off." By identifying these personalized gene-diet relationships, nutrigenomics aims to move beyond generalized dietary advice to create highly customized nutritional plans that can optimize health, prevent or manage diet-related diseases (like type 2 diabetes or heart disease), and maximize individual well-being based on genetic predispositions.Read article - What Is Nutrigenomics and How Does It Impact Your Health?
