More and more scientists in nutrition science (ecotrophology) have been coming to the conclusion for some time that there are no generally valid nutrition rules for all people. The scientific evidence for general validity is therefore missing.
Research results of numerous studies from for example Israel, Great Britain and Germany show beyond that that humans react very differently to food and food. The authors of the leading scientific journal „JAMA“ have therefore been calling for a paradigm shift for some time. In this context, the individuality of people is paramount. The technical term for this is „precision nutrition“. You should eat what keeps you healthy. The individual metabolism of the individual, his or her individual needs and the different characteristics of people demand intuitive eating, because every person is(s) different.
At the same time, the reaction of people to food is always very different. The so-called „3Vs“ in nutrition, which include digestion, utilization and tolerance, are of elementary importance. In fact, a study published in the renowned journal „Nature Medicine“ came to the conclusion of individual metabolic reactions in relation to blood sugar and fat levels after examining pairs of twins who received identical meals. The conclusion of their research is therefore that a personalized diet contributes to the prevention of diseases. This thesis of the authors of the journal is also supported by other studies.
The head of the German Fasting Academy Andrea C. Chiappa and his colleague Uwe Knop come to similar conclusions and support the theory of the scientists of „Nature Medicine“. The paradigm change in the nourishing science is after it no longer to be stopped. Both experts advocate a contemporary approach to personalized nutrition in the form of Intuitive Eating (IE) combined with Intermittent Fasting (IF), a fusion of popular eating styles with common sense, coupled with evolutionary biological advantages such as extended periods of starvation. However, personalized nutrition is still in its infancy, but a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition will not continue to be feasible in the next decade, many experts conclude. Factors supporting this theory include advances in food analysis, diseases caused by nutrition, public health programs, and gene-diet interaction concepts and increasing use of information technology, among others.
