5. Nutrigenomics is the study of the effect of genetic variation on the interaction between diet and health You can do something about your diet, but you cannot pick your parents…
6. Goal Improving health and preventing diseases through tailored diet and lifestyle prescriptions.
12. Nutrigenomics can be used as : • mechanisms underlying the beneficial or adverse effects of nutrient or diet • identify important genes, proteins or metabolites , act as molecular biomarkers • identify and characterize pathways of gene regulation.
13. Advances in molecular biology have made it possible for nutrition to undergo a revolution.
28. It is to help shoppers understand what they can do in their daily food choices to either maintain their good health or help correct certain genetic defects that the test may have identified.
Low Glycemic Index Diet ( GI Diet ) - GI stands for Glycemic Index and is a measure of the impact of food on your blood sugar.
Rest With The: Identify and validate nutrigenetic, nutritional epigenetic & transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic biomarkers of effect and susceptibility Effective communication about “omics” information to the health care community and consumers Ability to work within a responsible bioethical framework
$140 Billion current global market. Skeptics suggest nutrigenomics for Rich world activity and not global issue Adds confusion to already complex public health approaches Shifts investments from other challenges: inequalities, etc. Ethical Minefield
about how the kits not only test for disease but also serve as tools for customizing medicine, vitamins, and foods to each individual's genetic makeup.
