Food for longevity
Personalised food choices to help you live a long and healthy life
Our lifespan and quality of life depends on complex interactions between
our genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Recent studies have
demonstrated that our responses to food are unique, and therefore a
“one-size-fits-all” approach to diet is unlikely to be the best strategy
to enhance health.
Personalised nutrition is looking at the complex interaction between
nutrients and genes to create tailored diets which complement a person's
unique genetic profile.
Recent research has highlighted the multiple interacting pathways
linking diet, microbiome and health. This has revealed how our unique
microbiome can modulate the impact of food to transform our long term
health and weight.
One of the key factors to improving our quality of life overtime could
be the interaction between fibre and our gut microbiome. This has an
impact on the ageing process via modulating our inflammatory response
over our lifespan.
