Nutrigenomics: a new approach to beauty and health

Many people are willing to spend huge sums of money in order to preserve youth and attractiveness as long as possible. Some people use cosmetic surgery for this, others rely on a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrigenomics is the science of the interconnection of the optimal nutrition of a living being, depending on the characteristics of its genome.

Getting the maximum benefit from the product used in food can become a guarantee of health and beauty. So, some products have the properties to slow down the aging processes in the body, slow down the deterioration of the tissues and cells of the body. Antioxidants are known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, reduce blood sugar, stop the harmful effects of free radicals and slow the aging of the body as a whole.

The reaction of free radicals to DNA, leading to a mutation, is usually the cause of cancer and the weakening of cellular structures, and also causes premature aging.

Health status significantly improves the use of common antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E. Foods rich in these vitamins (spinach, tea, carrots, soy, tomatoes and others) can reduce the risk of metabolic abnormalities in the body.

Containing antioxidants and slowing down the aging process, products appeared in large quantities in the market in the form of lotions, ointments, creams, various kinds of food additives, soaps, vitamins, etc. Their labels promise the restoration of cells and the strengthening of blood vessels. However, antioxidants can not increase the elasticity of the skin, make it look younger, and in general, can not replace the lack in the body of any missing vitamin. They only slow down and prevent the oxidation of other molecules.

As you know, everything that we eat and use in caring for our body is bad or good, but it affects our own genes. Why genes can mutate. Thus, knowing the individual needs of your body is very important. Nutrigenomics is aimed at the production of functional foods based on an understanding of their influence and healthy food on the body, which as a result also affects our beauty and health.

With the help of genomic testing, nutritionists can determine what nutrients are needed by a particular organism. On the basis of this it is much easier to formulate recommendations for making diets taking into account products containing these nutrients. So, people concerned about the rapid aging of their cells due to the influence on their organism of an aggressive environment and under the influence of genetic factors, including in the diet products rich in antioxidants according to a specially selected diet that takes into account individual needs, thereby will improve their skin and body.

It must be remembered that an overabundance of something in the body, as well as a deficit, can not favorably affect the person's health. Beauty and health is the result of a correct, well-balanced care and nutrition, excluding excessive. Treatment of the body can not be carried out only from the outside. Making our body beautiful with the help of rejuvenating agents for external use, it is necessary to remember and care about it from the inside.

Genetic variability has an effect on the body's response to the proposed diet. Therefore, this aspect must be taken into account to improve the effectiveness of treatment. To date, further research in nutrigenomics for beauty and health is being conducted to improve its application in our daily lives.
