Nutrition Research of the Human Microbiome Project

Abstract

Proper eating is one of the most effective and economical ways to reduce the risk of many diseases and the risk factors that go along with them, such as obesity. To better understand the causes of obesity and related disorders, nutritional research is essential. As a result, it has the potential to have a significant influence on both the economy and global health. The following crucial areas are the focus of ASN’s nutritional research needs: (a) individual variation in dietary and food responses; (b) healthy development, maturation, and fertility; (c) health care; (d) medical treatment; (e) dietary habits; and (f) dietary supply/ environment. To preserve excellent health and functional capacity, nutrition is also crucial. The basis of a healthy populace and a robust economy is basic research on the connection between nutrition and non-communicable illnesses, nutritional composition, and dietary monitoring. The results of these nutritional research requirements will help to clarify approaches to the avoidance and management of both infectious and non-communicable illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The outcomes of these nutritional research needs will explain strategies for the prevention and treatment of infectious and non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. We must define the variables that affect the spread and growth of our microbiota and microbial partners to comprehend the biological and genetic diversity of humans. Microbiology enters a new age with the use of DNA sequencers and mass spectrometers, shifting its emphasis from the features of isolated organism types to the operation of whole communities. The rapidly developing subject of metagenomics examines these communities’ genome-anchored traits [1].
