New Delhi, 29 September (IANS). Every generation is probably fed by dissolving that everyone should eat the same to stay healthy. Meaning milk in the morning, dal-rice in the afternoon and light and digestible food at night. It is also advisable to fix the time of consumption of them all. But this perception is also changing in changing times. Although there are many scientific research, but there is one who strongly says what happens in your plate, not, it is not custom, your DNA has to be decided!
Scientific research says that the phase of one-size-fits-all has passed. That is, every human’s body is different, his needs are different, and accordingly his diet is also different. The same idea is coming out today as personal nutrition or DNA based diet.
In simple words, it is a science that suggests that your gene, your microbiom and your lifestyle will decide which food is the most beneficial for you. For example, a person feels tired immediately by eating rice while the other gives the same rice energy to the other. The reason for this is the internal biological texture of the body.
In recent years, microbiome test and gene tests have been bringing revolutionary changes in the region. The microbiom test shows which bacteria are more active in your intestines and how they are affecting your digestive and immunity. At the same time, the gene test shows how your body digests carbohydrates, fat or protein and which nutrients can be beneficial or harmful for you.
A study published in Nature Medicine in 2022 found that when people were given individual diet based on their genetic and microbiom data, their blood sugar and cholesterol had a better impact than the traditional diet. That is, the diet that benefits one person can also harm the other.
According to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2016), people who received personal nutritional advice were more likely to follow a specific diet (in this case, meditarian diet). A related papers published in the International Journal of Epidemiology found that by providing personal nutritional information based on diet, lifestyle and genotypes, “There were larger and more appropriate changes in dietary behavior than traditional approaches.”
In India too, the inclination towards this trend is increasing. Many health startups in metro cities have started giving diet plans based on gene testing and gut-health analysis. With this, people are able to understand which ‘low-carb, “keto’ or ‘high-protein’ diet really suit and for whom it can be harmful.
