Precision Nutrition: The Future of Dietary Health
The concept of precision nutrition moves beyond generic dietary recommendations, recognizing the individual differences in genetics, microbiome, metabolism, and lifestyle. This approach aims to create personalized nutrition plans based on comprehensive factors such as genetic makeup, microbiome, food environment, and physical activity. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) leads efforts to advance precision nutrition, aiming to develop targeted dietary solutions to improve health outcomes and reduce the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases, particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
