Since the dawn of humanity, human beings have inherently sought a state of security, trying to make their existence as comfortable as possible. Accordingly, among the many factors affecting human health, comfort and well-being, the quality of the micro-environment and ecology, as well as the health care system and health-saving resources, are important. In this regard, environmental security, with its systemic nature, brings a significant contribution to the PPM model by optimizing the state of balance in the interrelationship of natural, anthropogenic, physiological and social processes. Accordingly, individualized nutrition and pharmacointervention for preventive and prophylactic purposes, being important tools for health preservation, represent an integrative approach aimed at understanding the interaction between nutrition and the environment within the formed or formed lifestyle. This review will consider the main components of human health protection, as well as their impact on the preservation of ecobiocenosis stability.

Increasing dietary calcium intakes of Ethiopian women of reproductive age (WRA) is a public health priority for reducing pre-eclampsia in pregnancy. Using linear programming, we determined whether locally available foods consumed by WRA in nine regions (urban and rural) and two administrative cities of Ethiopia could provide 1000mg/day of dietary calcium, and we identified food-based recommendations (FBRs) to improve dietary calcium adequacy in each region. Results showed that diets providing 1000mg/day of calcium were feasible in eight regions (40%) of the target populations examined. It would, however, require marked changes for most populations (90%), increasing the number of servings per week of several food groups to levels close to those of high consumers in each population. The selected calcium-specific FBRs integrate well into the 2022 Ethiopian Dietary Guidelines, requiring additional messages to consume green leafy vegetables, milk, root crops, or teff (Eragrostis tef) or to consume a higher number of servings of vegetables than currently recommended, depending on the population. In conclusion, these analyses show that a food-based approach can be used to achieve dietary calcium adequacy among WRA in 40% of the populations examined. For the other populations, food-based interventions alone may be inadequate and other interventions are likely needed.

Current research indicates the importance of a personalized approach to health care, including quality preclinical laboratory diagnostics, preventive and prophylactic nutrition and the construction of individualized nutritional protocols, and well-being of the microenvironment as a whole. This article analyzes existing methods and technologies in the fields of personalized nutritional, medicine, precision fudomics and bioinformatics and their contribution to healthcare, reviewing key aspects of these fields and suggesting directions for further research and implementation.
