Personalised Nutrition

 In addition to the term personalised nutrition, many other terms are used—for example, precision nutrition, stratified nutrition, tailored nutrition, and individually tailored nutrition. 

  • Personalization of diet emerged as a strategy relying on the use of individual information to deliver finely customized nutritional advice, products, or services. 
  • Personalized nutrition is the answer to individual differences by attempting to adjust individual diet to specific individual and situational needs, and providing optimal customized nutrition for the individual. 
  • This is an approach which is different from the usual 'one diet fit for all' approach which provide the same kind of diet suggestion and diet plan to every one. 
  • The overall goal of personalized nutrition is to preserve or increase health by collecting individual information at the genetic, phenotypic, medical, and nutritional level, and to use such information to deliver customized nutritional guidance, an approach that could prove more efficacious not only for disease management, but especially for disease prevention. 
  • Targets for personalized nutrition are both healthy and diseased subjects, as well as genetically susceptible individuals. The idea of adapting our diet according to personal" factors such as age, gender, physiological state, or physical activity, as well as to special conditions such as pregnancy or risk of disease, is common today.

Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. There are 821 million people estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2017, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, d...
