Our genetic makeup determines our appearance (the colour of our hair and eyes, if we are tall or short) and how we respond to different external factors (nutrients, physical activities, medications). Our DNA can explain how we metabolize certain substances and how our body can lose and gain weight.
Not so long time ago, the knowledge about genetics was still very limited and we were unable to understand how our genes influence the characteristics we’ve inherited from our ancestors. Now, the scenario is quite different and highly promising! We are lucky to have access to an incredible base of genetic knowledge that increases day-to-day. Moreover, now we benefit from advanced techniques that can translate the genome’s complexity to our simple understanding.
Genetic analyses are a powerful tool to discover ourselves. By having your DNA analyzed, you can access valuable information that only a few years ago was unattainable! You will learn what is the best nutrition based on your genes and how your body reacts to certain foods, ingredients and vitamins; you can discover if you inherited any genetic risk to develop different diseases; you will understand how you respond to various medications; you will learn how to keep your skin young and rejuvenated and get insight on which sports activities are more beneficial for you.
GenePlanet will help you to achieve a more fulfilling lifestyle by discovering your own features and abilities carried by your DNA. Our DNA tests provide new insights and tailored actions plans that are aimed at personalised prevention, so you can adjust your lifestyle by choosing the optimal path for achieving long-term health and well-being. Discovering your genes is the first step to live a healthier and fulfilling life.
A plant polyphenolic compound with a bitter taste. Tannins are notably found naturally occurring in grapes, tea leaves and oak.
Among the most widely used methods are continuous training and interval training. Other training methods are a variation or a combination of these two. Some forms of the methods are tempo, fartlek, HIIT, circuit training and time or volume dependent Density training (AMRAP, AFAP…).
The principle of training designed for the achievement of the desired goals. The established principles are universal, but their applications should be adapted for the given field and person. Most of the principles are grounded in sports science and approved by time. The most well-known principles are overload principle, specificity principle, individualization principle, reversibility principle and diminishing returns principle.
Known also as hydrogenated or bad fats, which are produced as a result of overheating the oil. They increase bad cholesterol and reduce the good one.
Structural form in which our body stores fat. A high triglyceride level in the blood is not healthy and it is related to numerous medical conditions.
In essence, we differentiate animal saturated fats and plant mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
