You know that old saying “you are what you eat?” Well, turns out, it’s likely true! There is a whole new scientific study called nutrigenomics that focuses on how the food we eat interacts with our genes, and how it can be used to treat and prevent disease.
So, how does nutrigenomics work, and what does it mean for you? Let’s explore.
We know how our genes work in obvious ways. He has blue eyes, she has brown. When you stop to think about how the slightest difference in our genetics can drastically change how we look on the outside, it’s easier to understand how we can be so different on the inside as well. That’s the basis of nutrigenomics, our unique genetic makeup, how it pertains to our health, and how the food we eat affects it.
Understanding your genetic makeup through nutrigenomics can tell you a great deal about yourself and what you need to be the healthiest, best you. It helps identify which foods help fuel your body, and which foods slow it down, and even harm it.
-Potential food intolerances
-Metabolic efficiency (how we lose and gain weight)
-Nutrients you need to protect you against genetic diseases such as Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease
-What type of diet you should be eating
-Detoxification pathways
-Fitness traits
-Mental health challenges
You can find out your unique genetic nutritional needs by taking a simple blood test. Nutrigenomics companies will do testing and send you a detailed report about what your DNA says about you and your nutrition. Using this data, I send you a diet guideline so you can use nutrigenomics to your advantage. You’ll find out what foods work best for your body type, how much exercise you need, which vitamins and nutrients you need more of, and which foods you should avoid.
Learning more about how diet can affect your unique genetic makeup can be a powerful tool when it comes to disease prevention. It’s not a cure, and you must put in the effort and use the knowledge to your advantage. But knowing more about how your body reacts to certain foods, and the rate at which it metabolizes them, can give you a advantage in the quest to being the healthiest you!!
