All About Nutrigenomics

What is Nutrigenomics?

Nutrigenomics is your ‘eyes inside your body.’ It is a test that looks at the relationship between genes you were born with, the food you eat and your health. It tells us how different foods may interact with your genes to increase or decrease the risk of common chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and stroke and also some lifestyle diseases like hairfall and some skin conditions.

Who is this for?

Anyone can have this test done – whether they currently have disease symptoms or not.

Nutrigenomics FAQ

Not all people respond equally to the same diet and lifestyle habits. For example, after a meal, one person’s blood sugar levels might shoot up significantly, while their friend’s blood sugars remain stable even though they had the same food and in the same quantity! Why does this happen? Because everyone is ‘wired up’ differently! And Nutrigenomics looks inside your body—into your DNA, to find out what food and lifestyle habits work best for you.
Anyone can have this test done—whether they currently have disease symptoms or not.Men, women, children Homemakers Working professionals Athletes/Sports Enthusiasts Teenagers and pre-teens ElderlyThe test is aimed at individuals who might have a predisposition to lifestyle diseases due to the presence of one or more genetic risk factors, especially in case of a family history. For a person, who doesn’t have any disease symptoms, the tests can be aptly considered as one of the most advanced ways of preventive health management.
One size does not fit all and neither does the same diet! Since everyone’s body responds differently to the same food, getting the NGM test done will help you understand what kind of a personalized nutritional plan will help you achieve your health goals and fight disease more effectively.
