Precision Nutrition in Allergy and Immune Function

Precision Nutrition by incorporating the effects of genetics, epigenetics, the microbiome, metabolomics, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle on immune function promises to have many applications in the clinical setting. These potential applications include the role of nutrition in preventing and delaying the development of chronic system-wide inflammation, which has an important impact on the onset of age-related diseases due to its impact on immune function. Research in Precision Nutrition may ultimately lead to a better understanding of the role of diet and nutrients in immune function and will facilitate the development of tailored individualized dietary recommendations to improve human health via improvements in the functioning of the immune system.
