Abstract

Human nutrition science has evolved dramatically from basic caloric understanding to sophisticated, molecular-level insights into nutrient-gene interactions. This comprehensive review synthesizes foundational nutritional principles with contemporary discoveries in nutrigenomics, the gut microbiome, personalized nutrition, and metabolic health. We examine the transition from population-based dietary recommendations to precision nutrition approaches, highlighting the integration of traditional concepts with modern scientific methodologies. Key areas explored include macronutrient metabolism, micronutrient functions, dietary pattern analysis, and emerging technologies in nutritional assessment. This synthesis reveals that while fundamental nutritional principles remain valid, contemporary research has uncovered unprecedented complexity in nutrient utilization, individual variability, and the multifaceted relationships between diet, health, and disease prevention.

Keywords

nutrition sciences, nutrigenomics, gut microbiome, personalized nutrition, dietary patterns, metabolic health.
