This is the One Tip to Find out the Best Diet

Insights that every nutritionist needs to shape a healthy world

Did you know?

Nutrigenetics has been in use for over 40 years! The term nutrigenetics was first used in the book with the same name by Dr. R.O Brennan in 1975.

Do you get the feeling that you have done everything ‘right’ in terms of designing a diet for your client, but you still aren’t seeing the results that you were expecting?

Is your client feeling tired all the time while following the new diet?

Are you worried that your client may not stick to your diet as it doesn’t include foods that they may ‘secretly’ crave for?

Well, if you are a transformational expert and believe that you CAN make a difference to people and their wellbeing with your diet, then you need tools that will help you find answers to these questions and more.

DNA Insight-driven diets for Optimal Health

Nutrigenetics is the science of the effect of genetic variants on dietary requirements, while nutrigenomics is the science of the effect of bioactive food compounds on gene expression

5 Key Uses of Nutrigenetics in Personalizing diet

The science behind nutrigenetics can be used to delve into self-exploration or to identify key traits about a client that would not be possible through other means.

Atkins, Keto, Low carb, Paleo, or GM diet? What if instead of diet names, you now had the insight into how an individual responds to the various macronutrients in the diet?

What if you could tell if eating a lot of carbohydrates could significantly increase weight gain? A nutrition genetic report can do just that.

It will help in identifying macronutrients that are associated with changes in weight. For example, if an individual has a tendency to gain weight on high fat intake, then a keto diet may not be as effective as it would be for an individual without the same.

Information on response to macronutrients can be used to tailor diet with the required ratio of macro-nutrients for optimal weight maintenance.

2. Individual response to common dietary practices

A common example is the popular inclusion of olive oil in the diet, instead of vegetable oil. The Mediterranean diet includes olive oil, and its use is commonly encouraged. However, some people gain weight with high monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake.

So, switching to olive oil may be counterproductive for such individuals, in terms of weight maintenance. Though olive oil has a number of other health benefits, for which it may be included.

3. An insight into your client’s eating behavior

Does your client tend to overeat sweets? Will a diet that includes simple salads be sufficient for your client?

Everyone has a craving for or a tendency to eat more of certain food groups, depending on the taste receptors on the tongue.

While you can’t watch what your client eats all the time (unless you have a camera fixed onto the refrigerator!), there are valuable DNA insights that can help identify food groups that your client likely prefers more of!

Such discernment will help in identifying foods that a client may snack more often on and can be used to develop effective solutions.

For example, a client on a strict low-calorie diet maybe snacking on sweet foods occasionally due to a craving for sweet food.

Such intense craving is a biological need that only a few may be able to overcome. In such instances, including certain sweet-tasting fruits in the daily meal may help prevent overindulgence or binge eating of high-calorie dessert.

What if you could identify if your client will be happy with a plain vegetable salad?

A genetic report lets you understand your client’s preference for bitter foods. Adding a few cherry tomatoes or pomegranates will make it appetizing for a client who is less likely to prefer bitter foods.

These are insights that you can gain from a genetic report and which will help develop a diet that caters to the client’s taste buds. As a result, your client will be less likely to drop out of the program, and you are more likely to see results.

4. Identify Certain Important Food Sensitivities

Your clients may have always felt that certain foods do not suit them. Or there may be gastrointestinal systems that they do not know the cause for? Sometimes, looking at your genes could give you a clue. Could it be gluten sensitivity? Or lactose intolerance?

Gluten sensitivity is an important test needed to identify if you should suggest a change in diet from rice to chapatis.

5. Identify the need and form of Macronutrients

Our genes provide the necessary instructions to make certain proteins in the body, including hormones and enzymes. They also let your body know how much of it should be made.

If there is lower production of an enzyme associated with breaking down and absorbing a micronutrient from the diet, then you may have to increase the intake of the micronutrient.

Not only will you gain insights about micronutrients that a client would need more of. But you would also be able to identify the type of micronutrient needed.

For example, the presence of certain variants in the MTHFR necessitate the inclusion of active folate supplements in the diet, instead of folic acid. This is a vital micronutrient, the deficiency of which has been associated with neural tube defects, frequent miscarriage, and infertility issues, amongst others.

A genetic report will not only help in identifying the micronutrient that may be needed more of, but also the form in which it should be consumed.

It is time that we stopped depending on standard diets to provide results. Just like one mould cannot be used to bake different shapes of cake, one diet will not suffice for different types of people. Genetics plays a key role in the variation in size, shape, and behavior of people, likewise, genetics holds the key to how various food groups are broken down in the body.

Learning to use the gene data insights will help in aligning your diet for optimal wellbeing.
