It is known that certain genes are associated with body weight and body mass index. Recent clinical data and scientific studies have shown that the recommended and implemented nutrition plans resulting from these analyses can reduce body mass index and improve glucose levels in the medium and long term.
DNA Diet genetic test is one of the first tests in its field that provides personalized healthy nutrition and diet guidance. It analyzes the relevant genes related to nutrition and lifestyle variables that play a role in weight management, such as obesity risk, habit-forming eating behaviors, taste preferences, carbohydrate intake, snack cravings, and sweet cravings.
DNA Diet provides genetic guidance in the following areas:
The DNA Diet genetic test analyzes genes associated with body weight and body mass index. Based on the analysis, it evaluates how these genes influence a person’s nutrition, diet, and lifestyle. As a result, personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations are provided based on the genetic test results, rather than general diet advice.
The following diet and lifestyle variables are analyzed based on their role in weight management. These analyses are personalized by evaluating the contribution of these variables to the recommended diet plan according to the individual’s genetic variations. Thus, a personalized diet program and management plan are developed.
Obesity Risk: Obesity risk is largely determined genetically. It is an indicator of an individual’s response to reduced-calorie diets and their ability to lose weight.
Carbohydrate: Certain gene variants are associated with resistance to weight loss when high amounts of carbohydrates are consumed.
Saturated Fat: Some gene variations have been associated with increased obesity risk and slower weight loss when consuming high levels of saturated fat.
Monounsaturated Fat: Variants in some genes are associated with lower body weight in individuals whose caloric intake includes more than 13% monounsaturated fats.
Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA): Variants in certain genes, including PPARG, are associated with lower body weight when consuming omega-3 fatty acids-rich polyunsaturated fats (PUFA).
Exercise: Exercise is a significant component of weight loss. However, some individuals may need to engage in more intense exercise and spend more time to activate their fat stores. Variants in certain genes examine the body’s responses to exercise. Based on these variants, personalized weekly exercise plan recommendations that contribute to healthy weight management are provided.
Sweet Tooth/Sweet Cravings: Having a “sweet tooth” can be defined as longing for or indulging in sweet foods and has been associated with obesity risk. Some genes play a role in determining an individual’s propensity for having a sweet tooth.
Satiety and Snack Cravings: Satiety can be defined as a feeling of fullness after a meal. Some individuals tend to have more frequent snack cravings due to a quick decline in satiety.
Biorhythm: Inadequate sleep, changes in grelin levels, alterations in meal patterns, and diurnal/nocturnal preferences can have negative effects on weight management.
