[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The set of microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal system (colonic microbiota), the study of how foods contribute to our health through interaction with the genome (nutrigenomics), and the study of biological rhythms (chronobiology) are three of the key elements of precision nutrition. To learn about the latest scientific advances regarding the importance of nutrition on health, quality of life, and physical and emotional well-being of individuals, we have organized, along with the College of Biologists of Valencia, the II Nutrition Biology Conference.<\/p>\n

The ingredients, food, and nutraceutical industry needs effective and innovative products<\/strong> to respond to the ongoing demands of consumers who are increasingly aware of the relationship between diet and health, and the need for food products that meet their nutritional requirements.<\/p>\n

One of the trends for the development of functional ingredients and foods is to consider the concept of precision nutrition<\/strong><\/a> or personalized nutrition<\/strong>, which takes into account the multidimensional characteristics of individuals or groups such as lifestyle, genetics, microbiome, or metabolic response of a person to specific foods or dietary patterns to determine the most suitable dietary recommendations that promote health.<\/p>\n

Colonic microbiota, nutrigenomics, and chronobiology<\/h2>\n

1. The colonic microbiota<\/strong>, a set of microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal system, plays a fundamental role in development, not only as part of the immune system but also contributing to the development of physiological functions. Hence, for example, the increasing evidence linking the interaction of the microbiota with certain tissues or organs, such as:<\/p>\n
