Abstract
Since the completion of Human Genome Project, continuous efforts have been made to elucidate and decode their functionalities of the gens, to understand the cause or the origin of diseases. While experts still continue to study genes, a fair amount of light has been shed on the genetic factors responsible for disease development and progression, thus allowing scientists to design diagnostic and treatment tools employing this knowledge. From hypertension to cancer, genes can help to understand management of a disease in a more precise manner as compared to the conventional approaches alone. This science is known as Nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics can aid in weight loss in individuals suffering from stubborn obesity and can provide useful insight into the metabolism of the individual. Such diet and exercise recommendations based on genetic analysis of an individual are also called as Personalised Diet/Exercise recommendations. Genetics can help us understand various useful aspects of diet and exercise plan, such as suitable Protein :Carbohydrate :Fats ratio in a person’s diet, responsiveness to high intensity exercises, circardian rythm and exercise responsiveness etc.
Such presonalised diet and exercise recommendations can certainly help individuals achieve weight loss in a more efficient, rapid and scientific manner.
