Textbook of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics

Two individuals may share the same meal yet experience entirely different health outcomes-why? This book explores the hidden driver behind that difference: the human genome, and how it interacts with nutrients, lifestyle, and environment to shape metabolism, disease risk, and lifelong wellbeing.Textbook of Nutrigenetics & Nutrigenomics moves beyond terminology-heavy learning, presenting genetics and nutrition as a narrative rather than a syllabus. From Mendel's pea plants to SNP science, epigenetics, and personalized nutrition, each chapter invites readers to experience the science rather than memorize it.The book raises key questions: How did ideas from Darwin, Lamarck, and Mendel evolve into precision nutrition? What makes DNA a dynamic blueprint that can be influenced by lifestyle? Why do identical genes behave differently across individuals? How do nutrients regulate gene expression? How do SNPs shape everyday health choices? And is obesity merely about calories-or a complex interaction of biology and genetics?What sets this book apartStory-driven explanations instead of dense technical blocksPowerful analogies that make complex concepts intuitiveReal-life case scenarios linking evolution to clinical practiceA seamless bridge from genetics to epigenetics, obesity, metabolic traits, and applied nutritionIdeal for students who find genetics intimidating-and end up fascinated.Endorsement"A rare textbook that teaches the mind and engages the imagination. Perfect for universities transitioning toward precision nutrition." - Dr. Bhawna Sati, Clinical Nutritionist, Head of Nutrigenomics, NuGenomics, India
