Do foods cause cancer? Yes.
Do foods protect against cancer? Yes.
Foods create different effects on different individuals. Due to genetic differences between us, foods may benefit some of us while providing less benefit or even harm to others. Think milk, caffeine, alcohol, honey, tahini! Does it have the same effect on all of us?..
Nutrigenetics; It examines how our genetic differences change the balance in our body and focuses on fighting against diseases and taking precautions before they occur. When we understand our genetic differences better, even small changes in our lifestyle can save us from getting sick.
Actually, here is the secret; Yes, we can often even treat cancer with technological developments, but the goal is to never get sick!..
We can say that the relationship between our genetics and nutrition has been understood with the Human Genome Project. The human genome project aims to decipher all of a person's genetic material. With this project, it was found that some changes in our genetics are related to nutrition. He also provided us with the following information; The interaction between nutrition and the human genome is two-way, and nutrition determines, on the one hand, the speed at which our genes work, and on the other hand, how we respond to nutrients metabolically.
First of all, the metabolic responses of the person's genetic structure and the nutrition-dependent We observed that it affects susceptibility to diseases. Secondly, we concluded that nutrients regulate the factors that change gene expressions and therefore metabolic responses (at the molecular level). Therefore, we concluded that nutrigenetic methods can give strong clues about both the susceptibility to the disease and how to protect it from the disease.
The origin and development processes of cancer are a complex interaction mechanism involving genetic and environmental factors. We now know that diet and nutrients can also play an important role in the development of cancer. Although there are currently no large series and strong studies on nutrigenetic applications, we cannot ignore the existing scientific evidence. Today, Nutrigenetics is focused on the source and development of cancer, as well as its effects on diet. It is already widely used to discuss related or dependent diseases. This gives hope that in the near future, personalized nutritional consultation will be used in the effective management of cancer according to the genetic profiles of individuals.
I will continue to repeat it without giving up. We must take time to discover ourselves, to listen, and to improve our circumstances. As much as we devote to the fight against cancer…
