About the event

There is increasing evidence that one size does not fit all and that personalised nutrition/lifestyle approaches may help in reversing the increasing prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases. An expert group, comissionned by the Dietary Carbohydrates Task Force, is addressing different aspects of precision nutrition in a systematic review of current knowledge.

This workshop aims to complement the review by discussing perspectives on how to effectively implement and utilize precision nutrition in the context of various factors such as sleep, physical activity, socioeconomic status, and psychosocial factors.

Programme

Coming soon. Date and time are to be confirmed.

Participation is upon invitation.

BACKGROUND

Across Southeast Asia, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, has sparked growing consumer demand for healthier diets. In response, governments are implementing policies and initiatives to increase the availability of healthier food options.

Food reformulation plays a vital role in these initiatives, modifying food and beverage products to improve their nutritional profile, taste, safety and overall quality. The 2021 ASEAN Leaders' Declaration on Food Reformulation has also spurred innovations and increased production of reformulated food products in Southeast Asia, helping its population shift towards healthier, more nutritious and sustainable diets for improved health outcomes.

ILSI SEA Region will organize this one-day symposium to share updates and valuable insights from leading experts and officials from academia, government agencies and the food industry across the region.
