To talk about Genetic Nutrition Tests, we have interviewed our guest specialist, the Health Biologist and Dietitian-Nutritionist in Aesthetic Health Clinic, Paula Arístegui.
In a few minutes, answer in video format for users of Canary Doctor, the main questions about these novel genetic tests, ideal to customize your diet really! Know the answers now, from the hand of an expert on the subject.
Why doesn't everyone have the same diet?
The key that the same diet doesn't work for everyone it's in the genes. Although we are people and we have similar genes, there are always variations between individuals and these variations they will affect both to the absorption and to the metabolization and to the use of the components of the diet.
Is there custom nutrition?
Personalized nutrition really exists, but there is still a long way to go. What we can do is a genetic analysis through saliva and we now in consultation offer three different types of genetic tests.
What are the main advantages of the Genetic Nutrition Test?
The biggest advantage is that it is a fully personalized treatment, because we are taking into account the genes of that particular person and the possible genetic variants that can both favor and harm To that patient.
It is also a very technical simple to perform, because we simply need a saliva sample that the patient himself can take from home and does not have to come to the clinic to take that sample.
Types of Genetic Test
We are offering right now three different types of genetic tests, all of them from saliva.
- One of them is the Diet genetic tests It is very practical to know what is the diet that most benefits the patient to lose weight.
- Then we also have the Vital genetic test, from which we can determine the personalized requirements of that patient in terms of vitamins and Omega-3.
- Finally we have the Intolerance genetic test, through which we can determine the risk that person has to suffer from intolerance to either lactose, fructose or gluten.
To whom do you recommend these Genetic Tests?
Each of these tests can be recommended to one type of person or another.
In general, the one who I recommend to anyone is the Vital test, since in the end both vitamins and Omega-3 play a very important role in the health promotion and disease prevention.
El Intolerance testI would recommend it more to people who when eating feel some discomfort With some food they don't know why it can be. Also if they have swelling, gas or diarrhea for no apparent reason.
Evidently the diet It is focused on those people to whom they have a hard time losing weight and that they have made many types of diet to know what is the diet that is best for that person to lose weight.
With that information, We develop the Nutrition Plan suitable for each patient.
