Seminar Summary
When it comes to nutrition, it is well known that one diet does not fit all due to a high inter-individual response variability to food and nutrients. A person s response depends on several characteristics, but mainly its DNA, leading to the concept of genetically-based personalized health over six decades ago. It has been discovered that nutrients/diet can affect genes (nutrigenomics). On the other hand, genes can modulate nutrient metabolism (nutrigenetics), offering new opportunities to prevent and treat many diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Ramadan fasting research is one of the applications of the significant effects of dietary modification on genes expression and overall health status.
