Nutrigenetics deals with the relationship between nutrition and the human genome. The content, quantity, and quality of the ingested food can affect the regulation (operation) of expression of many genes in various tissues. Today, although the mechanisms associated with the positive or negative effects of nutritional components are being resolved, each person's responses to the same foods may differ depending on individual gene differences. It is extremely important to reveal the causes of the body's reactions to the consumed foods, to reveal the relationship between food and health.

 

 

 

 

In order to create personalized nutritional recommendations, genetic characteristics of the person should be investigated. In the light of the information obtained as a result of genetic tests, individual nutrition and diet prescriptions can be prepared.
