For millennia, ancient oriental medicines have supported the correlation between food and health: for example, in macrobiotics there are no drugs except the foods themselves. With the advent of modern technologies and molecular medicine, studies on nutrition have also evolved: we are talking about nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics and nutraceuticals.
Nutrigenomics is a science that studies how food is able to intervene on our DNA; it is responsible for studying the interactions between specific genes and nutrients. Nutritional choices are in fact able to influence the evolution of our genetic code; nutrigenomics describes the changes in gene expression that can occur following a targeted nutritional intervention.
The term nutrigenetics refers to the identification of any genetic variations that result in an anomalous response, that is, different from the general population, of the organism with respect to the introduction of particular foods.
According to nutrigenomics, through the mapping of genes, it is possible to identify foods that can have positive or negative effects on our health, helping us to protect the organism.
DNA NUTRIGENOMICS-TEST
The analysis of the genetic polymorphism carried out with a test carried out on the DNA of the cells of exfoliation of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity allows to evaluate the predisposition towards metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes cardiorespiratory diseases of the nervous and immune system; the degree of aging of the individual can also be assessed, the metabolism of drugs and hormones as well as the type of diet and nutritional and pharmacological treatments most appropriate for that subject can be established. the personalization of therapy with supplements, phytopharmaceutical and natural hormones, allows to counteract the predisposition towards certain pathologies as well as to slow down the degree of aging by optimizing the biological age.
Many degenerative diseases, such as:
- Diabetes and metabolic syndrome
- Allergies and chronic inflammatory diseases
- Tumors
- Dyslipidemias, Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Diseases
- Alzheimer’s disease and senile dementia
- Osteoporosis and Osteoarticular Pathologies
are positively and negatively correlated with nutrition and interaction, nutrients-organism could define, over the course of life, the balance between health and disease.
The new tests and customized nutraceutical will soon be available on the Thai market. For more information contact us info@khabangkok.com
