Ever wonder why some people can eat bad food, rarely exercise, and yet still maintain a slim profile? It might be in your genes! The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA Screening can provide answers to that and many other questions, such as how your body metabolizes caffeine and alcohol, and what types of food and vitamins benefit you most.
What does a dietary DNA screening test for?
FULLNESS
The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA report can determine how your body senses fullness in degrees of normal, delayed and impaired. All of which tells you whether you have tendencies to overeat. Helpful tips – such as eating a salad of fresh vegetables 20 minutes prior to a meal — can then assist you in proactively changing your behaviors to promote healthier eating habits.
CAFFEINE
Caffeine packs a buzz in just about any form – but how does your body react to it? The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA Report can tell you how your body metabolizes caffeine, and how that affects the intensity and duration of your coffee buzz.
ALCOHOL
When your body takes longer to metabolize alcohol, it results in a “flush” -- red cheeks, skin blotches, headaches, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA Report determines how likely you are to flush with alcohol consumption.
FAT LOSS WITH EXERCISE
Ever wonder why some people can hit the gym once a week, lose weight, and keep fit, whereas others need to keep at it five days a week in order to drop even a couple pounds? That’s genetics! The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA Report analyzes how fat is transported in the blood and where fat is stored, all of which can help you plan your next fitness routine.
NOTE: The Proactive Health Management Plan’s DNA Screening is currently not available to members who live in NY, NJ and RI.
