WHAT IS PERSONALISED NUTRITION?
Have you ever tried to stick to a diet but find yourself unmotivated, stressed, and craving unhealthy food?
Personalised nutrition is different. It involves developing unique nutrition guidelines for each individual rather than adopting a ‘one-size fits all’ approach.
Nutrition recommendations are customised to take into account an individual’s circumstances, including their:
Goals and motivation
Current diet
Medical history and family history
Budget & lifestyle
Cooking skills, food likes/dislikes and food allergies or intolerances
Why personalised nutrition is the best option!
Unlike ‘one-size fits all’ diets, personalised nutrition involves dietary recommendations that are realistic and sustainable, which makes it easier to stay motivated.
Through personalised nutrition, individuals can work towards achieving their health goals such as weight loss, improved gut health and enhancing training or sports performance. Personalised dietary advice can also help lower an individual’s risk of various lifestyle diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.
Studies have found that individuals who receive personalised advice adopt healthier eating habits that are sustainable in the long term leading to lasting improvements in health.
