A Review on Individual Based Nutrition and Role of Genetic

Health is a result of interactions between genes and environmental factors. The environmental factors that most significantly influence human health are nutrition, diet and daily lifestyle. Individual-based nutrition is an approach that recommends nutrition for individuals based on individual genetic information. The relationship between nutrition and disease has been widely researched and contains significant relationships. The specific relationship between nutrition and disease are being studied further in the form of epidemiological studies. Environmental factors such as dietary nutrition and genetic may have important roles in phenotypic manifestations through the central dogma of biology. This review article explains how DNA and genotype influence each individual's specific nutritional needs and maintain good health throughout life. Key words: individual nutrition, nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic
