Sina Technology News Beijing time on May 3 news, according to foreign media reports, do you ever wonder why they love certain foods, even if they all know that these foods are not good for health? A new study said that mutations in genes that affect how the brain works can be the answer to this question. This study may provide new dietary strategies that enable people to enjoy and adhere to the diet that best suits them.
At the 2017 American Society of Nutrition Science Conference and Experimental Biology Conference held in Chicago, USA from April 22nd to 26th, Silvia Berciano of the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain will present its new findings. “Most people have a hard time changing their eating habits, even if they know that the benefits of change are great,†Berciano said. “This is because our preference for food, and our ability to achieve goals or follow a plan, will affect what we eat. Food and adherence to dietary changes. Our study describes for the first time how brain genes affect the food intake and dietary preferences of a healthy population."
Although previous studies have identified genes related to eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia, we know very little about how the natural variation of these genes affects healthy people's dietary behavior. Genetic variation is the result of subtle differences in the DNA of different individuals, making them unique. In this study, scientists analyzed the genetics of 828 men and women of European descent and obtained their dietary information in the form of a questionnaire. The researchers found that the genes they analyzed played an important role in individual food choices and eating habits. For example, higher chocolate intake and greater waist circumference are associated with a particular form of oxytocin receptor gene, and an obesity-related gene plays a key role in vegetable and fiber intake. They also observed that certain genes are related to salt and fat intake.
These new discoveries may be used to develop new precision medical methods that help reduce the risk of certain common diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, through diet-based prevention and treatment programs and according to the specific needs of individual individuals. Cancer and so on.
Berciano said: "Based on our findings, we can better understand dietary behaviors and make individualized dietary advice more suitable for different individuals, making them more receptive to better results."
Researchers plan to conduct similar studies on other populations with different characteristics and ethnicities to better understand the applicability and potential impact of these findings. They also want to know whether these genetic variants related to food intake are related to the increasing risk of disease or health problems. (Sina Technology Ren Tian)
