New DNA Test Analyzes Individual's Genetics for Best Diet and Exercise Plan
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Every New Year, countless Americans make resolutions to eat healthier, exercise more and lose weight as soon as the clock strikes midnight. And every year, most of those people fail to meet their goals because they do not see results. Thankfully, there's now a once-in-a-lifetime test that can help people keep their New Year's resolutions to live a healthier, happier life.
Advanced Genomic Solutions (AGS), an international leader in genomic testing, has launched a DNA-based Health and Wellness Test that empowers people to make more informed health choices based on their unique genes. All it takes is a basic cheek swab DNA test, which gets mailed off to AGS' lab. Anyone can do it themselves. A few days later, the customer receives an individualized report to help them understand how their genetics affect their diet, exercise, and nutrition.
The personalized AGS report analyzes more than 50 genes, including genes involved in overeating and addictive behaviors, cholesterol and diabetes risks, vitamin deficiencies, exercise impact and favorable physical training methods. It also analyzes the individual's obesity risk, including BMI and waist circumference.
"This once-in-a-lifetime test using your genetic information will serve you forever, enabling you to make informed healthcare choices specific to your body," said Lance Bennett, Managing Partner of AGS. "The personalized health report will help tell people what type of exercise best suits their genetic profile, will let them know the best supplements for their genetic makeup, and increased awareness of behavior tendencies to promote healthier eating habits, prevent diseases and reduce obesity."
