What is nutrigenomics vs Personalized nutrition- what is the difference?
Nutrigenomics is a scientific field that forms part of the overarching field called nutritional genomics. Nutrigenomics is used sometimes as a shorter term of nutritional genomics and other times it is used synonymously with personalized nutrition and in this video I will explain that it is neither.
So let let´s start from the top. Nutritional genomics is the overarching term for the fields of Nutrigenomics which studies or environmental factors such as diet interact with our genes.
Nutrigenetics is the study of how our genetic make-up influences how we utilize nutrients and epigenetics is the study of the switching on and off of genes with a change in the structure of the DNA.
