About the event
There is increasing evidence that one size does not fit all and that personalised nutrition/lifestyle approaches may help in reversing the increasing prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases. An expert group, comissionned by the Dietary Carbohydrates Task Force, is addressing different aspects of precision nutrition in a systematic review of current knowledge.
This workshop aims to complement the review by discussing perspectives on how to effectively implement and utilize precision nutrition in the context of various factors such as sleep, physical activity, socioeconomic status, and psychosocial factors.
