Nutritional Factors

Meaning

Nutritional Factors are the specific, quantifiable components of the diet—including essential macronutrients, micronutrients, phytochemicals, and various bioactive compounds—that exert measurable influences on human physiological function, metabolic pathways, and hormonal regulation. Clinically, these factors are recognized as powerful, direct modulators of gene expression, systemic inflammation, and cellular signaling cascades. Optimizing these factors through precise dietary guidance is a fundamental, non-pharmacological strategy for preventing chronic disease and supporting long-term endocrine and metabolic health. They represent the direct chemical input required for the body’s complex biological systems.
