First, what is lactose intolerance? Simply put, it is the inability to digest the lactose which is present in most dairy products. Lactose intolerance can be very unpleasant, and symptoms may include abdominal pain and swelling, flatulence, diarrhoea, and other symptoms. This is a relatively common disorder affecting about 65% of the global population, although […]
READ MOREGood Genes, Good Diet … Or Both?
Good genes and a good diet should spare most of us from developing Type II diabetes. The popular nutritional thought suggests that it is predominantly a bad diet, perhaps woven with a genetic “propensity” that gets the rest of us in trouble. A new observational study pulls at the threads of that argument
READ MOREGenes play a significant role in how the body responds to exercise, finds study
A new study has found that genes play a significant role in how our bodies respond to exercise and has identified a number of specific genes that influence the outcomes of different kinds of physical activity.
READ MORENew genetic evidence for the role of vitamin D deficiency in causing cardiovascular disease
Free from the sun, vitamin D delivers a natural source for one of the hormones essential to our bodies, especially the bones. But when you’re down on this essential nutrient, it’s not only your bones that could suffer, but also your cardio health, according to new research from the University of South Australia.

The researchers analyzed genetic material from 86 discordant couples in the sense that only the wife or husband was infected by SARS-CoV-2 although both were exposed to the virus.
READ MOREStudy Draws Link Between Vitamin D Levels and Blood Glucose, BMI and COVID-19 Severity
A substudy of a prospective observational study performed at a hospital in Italy details potential associations of vitamin D levels with BMI and blood glucose and severity of COVID-19.

Here’s why many expect nutrigenomics to be the future of nutrition.
READ MOREAlcohol Metabolism Could Be Key to Risks of Drinking
Heavy drinking increases the risk of a variety of negative health consequences from liver disease to cancer. But some people who drink heavily appear to be at a greater risk for developing these problems than others.
READ MORECan Food Allergies Be Genetic?
These allergies may be broadly classified as either immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated or non-IgE-mediated reactions, with the former being more rapid in onset, usually presenting within minutes of ingestion. Food allergies are quite distinct from food intolerance, where the latter develops as a result of difficulties in digesting certain types of foods that lead to unpleasant intestinal […]
