We are certainly living in a

world of personalised phones,

coffee, cars even at our house,

we all eat our breakfast cereal

differently.

Making dietary and lifestyle changes to

improve your health and avoid any

illnesses is for some not only difficult but

also takes a lot of effort



Three recent studies have confirmed that

providing individuals with personalised

advice improves motivation and helps

individuals understand the rationale for

dietary recommendations to improve health

and prevent or delay the onset of disease in

comparison to general advice.



The first older study looked at overweight

individuals who were provided with a

nutrigenetic test in order to provide

tailored and personalised advice

(Arkadianos et al 2007).



Another study was conducted in Canadian

students in which they offered students a

voluntary nutrigenetic test which looked at

gene variants that are involved in

carbohydrate metabolism, salt sensitivity,

caffeine metabolism and Vitamin C

metabolism (Nielsen et al 2012).



A recent study of Nature readers also

revealed that 27% of readers changed their

diet, lifestyle or medications following their

genome results (Maher 2011).



So if you are in need of motivation,

inspiration or confirmation, you may want to

consider working with a healthcare

professional with a personalised dietary

approach to optimise your health.
