The excitement about nutrigenomics comes from a growing awareness of the potential for modifications of food or diet to support health and reduce the risk of diet-related diseases. It is an emerging field that tends to unfold the role of nutrition on gene expression which brings together the science of bioinformatics, nutrition, molecular biology, genomics, epidemiology, and molecular medicine. The present review focuses on nutrigenomics research and to find out India's status with respect to other countries. It covers the general overview of nutrigenomics, its associated diseases, and the role of SNP in gene alteration, diet supplementation and public awareness. It is understood that with the increasing changes in the food habits and life styles, people are becoming more prone to diet related disorders. Therefore there is an urgent need to boost more research in this field to help people in understanding the relationship between diet and health, and to ensure that everyone benefits from the genomic revolution.
营养基因组学令人兴奋之处在于，人们越来越意识到通过改变食物或饮食来促进健康并降低饮食相关疾病风险的潜力。它是一个新兴领域，倾向于揭示营养在基因表达上的作用，融合了生物信息学、营养、分子生物学、基因组学、流行病学和分子医学等学科。本综述聚焦于营养基因组学研究，并探究印度相对于其他国家的现状。它涵盖了营养基因组学的概述、其相关疾病，以及单核苷酸多态性在基因改变、饮食补充和公众认知方面的作用。据了解，随着饮食习惯和生活方式的不断变化，人们更容易患上与饮食相关的疾病。因此，迫切需要在该领域加强更多研究，以帮助人们理解饮食与健康之间的关系，并确保每个人都能从基因组革命中受益。
