A study ratifies importance combination diet-genetic in obesity: not only influence diet and genetics separately but also very important combination so what fattens a person can affect least another.

Therefore genetic analysis determining diet personalized is each day closer is one of hopes for combat overweight and obesity.

Research has been directed by Human Nutrition Research Center Boston (USA) and therein collaborated include both scientists Medicine department Preventive Universitat de Valéncia (led by Dolors Corella) like Dr. José Ordovás recognized expert on internationally. Work published in magazine Archives of Internal Medicine.

The importance of research is that was first EBERs gene-diet three different populations, increasing validity results.

This interaction implies that albeit that risk obesity is essentially determined by heredity, expression such genes is often conditioned by feeding mode.

According researchers around 15% population possesses a certain genetic variation an increase 80% risk obesity (regarding eaters same but lack this variation) but only if having high dietary saturated fats. Yet that trend fatten not manifested in people with such variation genetic if consume many fats saturated.

A practical application foregoing would make genetic analysis a person obesa to see if have or unspoken variation. If yes, should restrict lot diet saturated fats, otherwise could join your diet without problem at least regarding overweight.

When extend investigations and known more variations such may prescribed personalized diets so that adelgazaríamos simply removing our diet those foods us most fatten, considering our genetic peculiarities.

This not be conducting today but perhaps when one can be not so distant. Itself Dr. Corella says conclusions this study “serve to advance dietary recommendations more customized and successful.”
