Research into the effects of personality on nutrition and general health

How can eating differently help to reduce complaints such as abdominal pain, fatigue or stress and what role does personality play in this? We are going to answer this in this scientific study. Everyone has complaints from time to time and research shows that general complaints can develop into diseases of affluence such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or lung diseases. These complaints can be reduced with food, but what should you eat? Also, advice does not work for everyone and not everyone likes the same thing.

That is why we want to move towards food adapted to who you are and what suits you.
