Diet affects metabolism and gut microbiome significantly: Study
Advertisement
In a recent study published in the journal CELL, researchers discussed recent advances in molecular nutrition. They focused on pharmaceutical and dietary interventions to manage energy balance and their interactions with the gut microbiome in humans. Further, they explored emerging dietary patterns and the implications of microbiome research on nutrition.
Over the past five decades, molecular nutrition has evolved significantly. Initially centered on micronutrients, the field has shifted towards studying macronutrients and dietary patterns, driven in part by the rising prevalence of obesity. A growing body of evidence highlights the crucial role of the gut microbiome in regulating energy metabolism and dietary responses. This has led to the emergence of precision nutrition, which tailors dietary recommendations based on an individual's genetic and microbiome profiles. Large-scale studies, such as the Personalised Responses to Dietary Composition Trial (PREDICT), have demonstrated the potential of incorporating microbiome data to improve metabolic health outcomes. Nevertheless, further research is needed to validate precision nutrition and integrate it into clinical practice.
