NUTRIGEN

Adult health is deeply rooted in childhood. The influence of genetic factors and poor nutrition during childhood can lead to the development of the disease in adulthood. Their development can be prevented, controlled and treated by combining adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Scientific research suggests that metabolic programming may be influenced by diet during early childhood. The frequency and outcomes of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease, are related to birth weight, lifestyle, and childhood nutrition. The good news is that the vast majority of acute childhood illnesses can be avoided, controlled or treated, while adequate nutrition in early childhood is a cornerstone of health.

Different needs

Every child is different, so their nutritional needs are different. They differ in eating habits, tastes they prefer, daily routines, genetic traits, cultural customs and susceptibility to various environmental factors. Children, therefore, need nutrients that are in line with their specific health needs. Nutrigenomics is a scientific discipline that monitors the interactions of food ingredients, gene expression and their consequences on health. In nutrition, nutrigenomics often deals with the ingredients of functional foods that have been scientifically proven to carry health benefits. In that sense, nutrigenomics is an approach to personalization of nutrients that contribute to the health of people with different genetic risk factors and diets. Personalized nutrition is an effective preventive approach in health care.

Decreased food quality

Agricultural practices and methods of delivering food to consumers have changed significantly over the past half century, which has increased food stocks, but also reduced the content of nutrients. Recent studies on the ratio of nutrients in fruits and vegetables have shown that on average there is a drop of 5% to 40% in the content of minerals, vitamins and proteins. As a result, today we need to eat more foods to get the same amount of micronutrients as previous generations. This essentially carries the risk of ingesting more energy than our body needs, and leads to obesity and other health problems caused by inadequate nutrition and consequent overweight. In order to effectively solve this challenge, we need dietary supplements, today perhaps more than ever.
