Nutrigenomics can play an important role in obesity prevention. By evaluating an

The interactions and identification of diet-gene will allow us to develop a specialized, personalized dietary intervention that will lead to evidence-based lifestyle and dietary strategies for achieving health and fitness in anticipation of the effects of genomic factors in preventing diet-related diseases. Incorporation and considerations of introducing a successful launch of personalized nutrigenomic foods could be the new trends in personalized nutrigenomic food will depend on an individual's nutritional and food-related genomic results extensive report generated by RX Predict for participants to follow.

individual's nutritional markers or makeup, nutrigenomics can serve as a guide for potential risks and help tailor a personalized diet plan to prevent the onset of the disease. This approach considers an individual's unique nutritional needs based on their nutrition food genomic profile, helping them make informed choices about what they eat. Additionally, nutrigenomics can help identify foods that may trigger adverse reactions or exacerbate symptoms in individuals with diabetes, allowing for better disease management. Overall, nutrigenomics offers a promising avenue for disease prevention and personalized nutrition.
