Genetic factors determine how susceptible the individual is to becoming overweight when exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions (such as overeating and/or a low level of exercise), and how the body responds to certain diets and exercise. Humans are on average 99.9% genetically identical and only 0.01% accounts for 3 million differences between people. These differences are called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs. SNPs are located in genes or near the genes.
Because all cells contain two copies of each chromosome you may have two identical or two different copies of each SNP. Genes contain information needed to make proteins. Proteins are the molecules that actually do things in cells, but they are only made when, where and how the genes instruct. Genes are part of your DNA.
TEST RESULTS INCLUDE:
• Detailed analysis of the genetic markers influencing your weight
• Personalized recommendations for:
- Foods to eat—the best foods to meet your caloric needs
- Nutrients—Optimal nutrient needs and most effective supplements
- Best exercises—Ideal exercises to achieve and maintain your healthiest weight
The report discusses in easy language how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you should consume daily, which nutrients for which you may be at risk of deficiency, and which foods are good sources of those nutrients. You will learn how your body responds to various foods for energy, and thus, how best to eat in order to lose body fat.
Your report also indicates how likely you are to use fat for energy during different types of exercise. It will give you specific information about fitness activities best aligned with your genetic results: which types of exercise, at what intensity, for how long, and how often.
What information is included in my report?
Your recommended Weight Management plan contains nutrition and exercise recommendations specific to your genetic test results (i.e., your DNA). The nutrition information discusses how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you should consume daily, which nutrients for which you may be at risk of deficiency, and which foods are good sources of those nutrients. You will learn how your body responds to fat, protein and carbohydrate intake in relation to how you use them for energy, and thus, how best to eat in order to lose body fat.
Your Weigħt Management report will give you specific information about your genetic test results and the way forward. Your genes play a big role in your body composition but it’s also important to realize lifestyle and diet play a significant role as well.
