Nutrigenetics is an aspect of personalized nutrition that studies the different phenotypic responses (i.e., weight, blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, or glucose levels) to a specific diet (i.e., low fat or Mediterranean diets), depending on the genotype of the individual. The overall goal of personalized nutrition is to preserve or increase health using genetic, phenotypic, medical, nutritional, and other relevant information about individuals to deliver more specific healthy eating guidance and other nutritional products and services. Personalized nutrition uses information on individual characteristics to develop targeted nutritional advice, products, or services to assist people to achieve a lasting dietary change in behaviour that is beneficial for health. It is based on the concept that individualized nutritional advice, products, or services will be more effective than more traditional generic approaches.
