To eat or not to eat: personalised nutrition
Everyone has different dietary and nutrition needs.
Dietary recommendations must also be tailored to each individual to address their specific preferences, health needs and socio-economic environment.
So how can we manage all these considerations?
Personalised nutrition
Nutrition and dietetics professionals, such as Australian Accredited Practicing Dietitians, are qualified to provide tailored and evidence-based nutritional recommendations and treatment for a broad range of health states.
Personalised nutrition could also include the following:
- Biomarkers, eg assessments of blood glucose levels before and after food consumption.
- Genetic assessments, eg genetic susceptibility to diseases.
- Gut microbiota assessments to explore composition and function.
