Unlocking a lifetime of Optimal Health

Two men of the same age eat a diet low in fruits and vegetables and high in salt and saturated fat. One develops high-blood pressure, high cholesterol, and eventually heart disease, while the
other lives a long life without chronic disease. In another example, two post-menopausal women consume similar diets low in choline. One develops liver dysfunction due to a choline deficiency, but the other does not.

Why these individuals experience different health outcomes despite following similar diets and living comparable lifestyles is a question that has been on the minds of nutrition and healthcare experts for decades. While professionals have suspected that genetics (the study of heredity) plays a critical role in determining how a person responds to dietary intake, research in nutrigenetics has only recently demonstrated this to be true.
