Numerous studies have indicated that there is a difference in the reaction of our bodies when eating, but most of them did not specify the method or reason for these differences, which is the goal that a new American study seeks to achieve.
And when it comes to mapping out more specific strategies, such as how much to eat in order to lose or maintain weight, it becomes difficult.
The problem returns, according to previous studyindicates that individuals can have different reactions to the quantity and type of food compared to others who eat the same meal.
The study, published by Nature Food magazine in 2020, took samples from some of the participants, and after urinalysis, researchers found different patterns of chemical composition, indicating unique responses to food based on how it was digested.
The researchers also found that even though everyone ate the same amount of calories, some people gained more weight than others.
To find out the reasons behind this, you are looking New study in how each person responds to food.
This study, launched by the US National Institutes of Health, is based on knowing individual responses to food based on personal data for each consumer, such as lifestyle and gut microbes.
The study takes samples from 14 regions across the United States.
There is growing evidence that people respond differently to food, given these differences, so this week researchers began enrolling those interested in joining the study at 14 sites across the United States.
The study is part of the “All of Us” research initiative that aims to use data from one million participants to understand how differences in our biology, lifestyle and environment can affect our health.
Nutritionist Holly Nicastro tells NPR:NPRThe goal of the Micronutrition Study is to help develop personalized nutrition approaches.
“We will use machine learning and artificial intelligence to develop algorithms that can predict how individuals will respond to a particular food or dietary pattern,” she adds.
The study will take into account a person’s genetics, gut microbiome, other lifestyle, environmental and social factors “to help each individual develop eating recommendations that improve overall health,” says Nicastro.
While most nutrition patterns focus on the need to eat healthy and follow a healthy diet, Nicastro points out that studies show how different it can affect how individuals respond to certain foods or diets.
A previous study showed that even when people eat identical meals, their triglyceride and glucose levels and insulin response can differ.
As part of the new study, some of the participants will live in a dormitory-style environment for two weeks where they will be given three different types of diet.
The researchers will measure each participant’s body weight and vital signs, including blood pressure.
Then, blood, urine, saliva and stool samples will be collected, and researchers will assess the microbiome, while glucose monitors track changes in the body’s blood sugar.
While diet-related diseases are among the leading causes of premature death, the goal of this study is to help people live healthier lives, according to an NPR report.
Nutrition plays a fundamental role in human development and in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
And each year, more than 1 million Americans die from diet-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
And people who live at a lower socioeconomic level are disproportionately affected by diet-related chronic diseases.
The National Institutes of Health aims to recruit people from diverse backgrounds as well to participate in the study.
