Personalized nutrition - Could genetic tests improve your health and your figure? | DW Documentary

More fiber and fermented foods, and less processed foods is my general rule. Highly recommended, supported by science and me ;)

Another great and informative report. This channel has amazed me on content quality that is actually useful and important to all of us. Thank you for keep journalism so helpful.

Individualized nutrition is the future! We hope that more people are able to access to tests like these in the future

excellent documentary as usual, great job DW team. There is an error in the visualization of the SNPs though: the image at 17:40 represents a base mispairing and not a SNP.

I hypothesized that the incidence of gallstones in people of indigenous ancestry in Peru was due to the drastic change from a very low-fat diet to a high-fat diet, which happened in a very short generational time. The numbers of people who have cholecystectomy don't lie. These studies make me think that there is definitely a relationship. The information about what we eat and what works to keep us alive is stored in our genome and passed on to offspring. By the way, I'm one of those numbers.

Always ahead in your presentation on matters of public interest. Great job and well done guys.

I greatly appreciate this very life saving health Docu that back up with science and very details and easily understood. Keep it up✋️🤍

Fascinating documentary, learn something new every day 👍

DW has always been doing a great work with variety of subjects with its documentaries 👏👏👏

Whats best for health is the least processing steps on food possible. The issue is that people & companies make most money where there is the most processing. Clear case where regulation can help.

Thank you for this. So maybe in the future we will get tests that can help us to determine what is the right diet for our systems? George Davis

It is important to practise meaningful eating! No hurry! Carefully chu each bite before to swallow it, for at least 20 times. I was taught this wisdom by my grandmothers since my very early age. Love and peace to all humans!

It is good to see someone actually studying the effects rather than just saying something because they know so. I have had type 2 diabetes a little over 10 years now. When I first got it I saw some HORRIBLE - DANGEROUS doctors without any actual training giving advice and recommending too many drugs. I started keeping records of diet, exercise etc. I had one doctor absolutely refuse to look at any of that. I did figure out what I could and couldn't eat though. During that time I found out about the fact that Protein becomes Glucose if eaten in excess. The Keto diet has some good points, but is too heavy on Proteins.

i get the idea of eating with time between meals... but maybe the time between meals is an important part of the difference in impact? idk, its all complicated and there is no reason why we can't get larger participant numbers.......

Love it. This is the sort of detailed approach that people need to find, or get closer to, their optimal diet. For most things human there are too many variables for a one size fits all approach.

It was a great documentary shared by an excellent ( DW) documentary channel. Documentary about personalized nutrition and types of human genetics +types of intestine Microbiom mixture ,both factors relationships to suger ranges in blood stream of individuals...documentary indirectly labeled to precious advices about human nutrition

I follow DW for such long time. Hello from Florida

"We get this essential sugar from our diet" at minute 2.25. At this point I knew this was going to be biochemically inaccurate. There is no carbohydrate that is essential. As you know, there are essential proteins and fatty acids, but there is no requirement for carb to be eaten, as glucose etc. can be synthesized in the body from fats and protein. Oh dear! Two minutes in and they are spouting rubbish. However, I expect it will improve.... maybe. My CGM shows I spike with any carb, so I do not eat more than 20g net carbs a day. I stick with red meat, eggs, cheese and butter, and lost 31kg in a year, and reversed my diabetes and fatty liver, and got my blood results back to normal. I stay keto now. Mood always buoyant, energy good, slim and fit, and I've stopped snoring. Yay! Pass the butter!

I love the conclusion closing statement
