How do your genes respond to nutrition and nourishment? Your genes interact and collaborate as a team. A slogan reads, “Smart foods for intelligent people.” Nutritional genomics is a buzz word in the news. Testing DNA for ancestry also bridges gaps in regard to customizing smarter foods to your genotype.
Phenomics is about customized healthcare and medicine tailored to your genetic profile. If you’re interested in metabolic typing, check out the site for Personal Metabolic Typing . Dentists may be interested to know that gum disease is genetic and may be caused by a genetic predisposition to diabetes, heart disease, or low birth weight. A genetic profile on patients with deep pockets of gum disease might be useful. Find out more out the Holistic Dental Network.
There is a strong connection between nutrition and genotype, especially in regards to your cardiovascular and central nervous system health. So you need to tailor foods intelligently to your genetic expression. The media buzz about ‘intelligent’ foods or ‘smart’ foods really means eating clean, safe,whole foods based on what your individual genes need to thrive. Not all your genes are tested.
How can you know about all the diseases for which you may be at risk? And without knowing all the information that every one of your gene’s reveals, how can you develop a plan to override your genetic risks by nourishing your genes with what they need to stay healthier?
You can contact AlphaGenics, Inc. or write to: Maryland Technology Incubator, 9700 Great Seneca Highway, Rockville, MD 20850. AlphaGenics, Inc. is a nutrigenomics science company. AlphaGenics, Inc. also has an independent, separate Ethics Board.
A sidebar on the company’s Web site from Dr. Fredric Abramson, CEO reads (reprinted here with permission), “We are about to see a revolution in our concept of diet. Each of us is a unique organism and for the first time in human history, genetic research is confirming that one diet is not optimum for everyone."
"Science is discovering that each individual’s DNA processes food and nutritious supplements in a unique way. Through the development of a cutting-edge DNA analytical system and consumer guidance, AlphaGenics will be able to tune nutrition to meet the needs of each individual resulting in optimum health, peak performance, and enhanced creativity.”
How do your genes respond to nourishment? Are you eating smart foods—foods tailored to your genotype—DNA, your ancestry, and your entire genome of genes? Are you ready to get a picture of your response to your nutrition? How can you eat to nourish your genotype? According to Genomics 120, a science, nutrition, and health site.
Are you wondering why in the United States currently only 50,000 people out of some 280 million live to be even 100 years old, or that your body may be aging nearly twice the rate it should be because you’re eating the wrong food for your genetic signature?
Ancestry and diet are linked by biology, culture, and choices. Do you choose food by habit or biology? How do you interpret DNA testing for nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics)? Specific genetic variants interact with food. Nourishing whole foods tailored to individual needs are called smart foods. Food has both a cultural and a biological component. You might start your food research at the Web site of Food Resource, a source of science-based and business savvy information for the food industry.
