An inappropriate diet can yield stress for our cells, tissues, and organs and is often associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. This textbook does not discuss a theoretical topic in science, but it talks about real life and our life-long "chat" with diet. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview on the principles of nutrigenomics and their relation to health or disease.
