Abstract:
The current scientific evidence linking nutrition with longevity, emphases the importance of personalized healthy dietary patterns rather than isolated nutrients of reference in daily diets. Strong science-based evidences from epidemiological studies, randomized clinical trials, and mechanistic research supports the beneficial effects of diets rich in vegetables, forest fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish, and unsaturated fats, particularly Mediterranean-style dietary patterns, in delaying the onset of age-related diseases and promoting good-health longevity.
The scientific research in nutrigenomics and precision nutrition highlights the crucial role of individualized dietary plans to optimize the healthspan. Despite significant advances, important knowledge gaps remain regarding long-term intervention studies and the translation of mechanistic findings into personalized clinical practice.
The author intent to create a consumer-oriented algorithm to translates nutritional science regarding the complex dietary strategies into simple and practical actions that can be followed easily by anyone in everyday life for correct nutrition.
