Using DNA Results to Improve Your Immunity This Winter

The darker, colder months of the year bring with them seasonal colds, flu and other illnesses. Many of these are related to the reduced levels of Vitamin D we receive as a result of getting less sun, while others are due to a diet containing larger amounts of “comfort food” and fewer fruits and vegetables.

It’s also important to note that viruses tend to live longer in environments with lower humidity and cold temperatures.

So, how can you protect yourself from the winter lurgy and stay healthy right through until spring? The answer may be in your DNA.

The genetics specialists at myDNA can develop a clear picture of weaknesses in your immune system by way of a simple swab test. From there, it’s easy to work out which foods to eat and vitamins or minerals to seek out in order to toughen up your defenses in preparation for anything that comes your way.

It may also help you to find out whether you have any kind of underlying condition that may compromise your immune system or prevent you from properly absorbing certain nutrients.

By analyzing your unique genetic makeup, myDNA can develop DNA diet plans and exercise regimes that are tailored specifically to your body.

The team will be able to determine the types of exercise to which you’ll respond best and generate nutritional guidance based on the individual ways in which you metabolize fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

Because you are naturally inclined towards these particular lifestyle changes, you’ll find them easy to maintain in the long term – and you’ll notice results far more quickly than you would by following a standard diet and exercise program.
