Summary 

  • Calorie requirement even varies based on gender, age, physical attributes, body deficiencies.
  • Personalised nutrition aims to achieve optimum health by using medical, genetic, and physical information about the individual.
  • It is based on the idea that tailoring nutritional advice, products, or services will be more efficient than other generic approaches

What you eat in a day builds muscle strength, stamina, immunity, and fights illnesses. That’s why it is always recommended to eat healthy and nutritious food so that the body remains in good overall health.

We all know that eating nutritious food is beneficial. But what is nutritious, how many calories should one intake, is it the same for all, or does it vary?

Everybody needs a different quantity of nutrients in a day. It depends on various environmental, physical, and social factors. For example, in rural areas, calorie intake increases as people do more physical labour; likewise, a pregnant woman will need more calories. 

Calorie requirement even varies based on gender, age, physical attributes, body deficiencies, etc. So, simply going to the internet and looking for “how much and what should one consume in a day” might not be helpful. 

What is personalised nutrition?

In personalised nutrition, you get tailored dietary advice for what you should include in your daily food chart. So, it is strictly individualised, and you eat to prevent diseases and optimise overall health. Personalised nutrition aims to achieve optimum health by using medical, genetic, and physical information about the individual.
