Abstract

The emergence of personalized nutrition—tailored dietary advice based on individual genetic profiles—represents a paradigm shift in nutritional science. As evidence mounts on the impact of genetic polymorphisms on nutrient metabolism and disease risk, personalized diets have become pivotal in managing chronic conditions and promoting optimal health. This paper explores the interaction between diet and genes, discusses the technologies enabling nutritional genomics, and illustrates examples where dietary modifications have been guided by genotypic variations. We also examine implications for public health in Pakistan and advocate for integrative approaches in dietary planning and disease prevention.
