Nutritional Genomics

Imagine this scenario : A physician scrapes a sample of cells from inside your cheek
and submit it to a genomic lab.

The lab returns a report based on your genetic profile that reveals which diseases you are
most likely to develop and makes recommendations for specific diet and lifestyle changes
that can help you maintain good health .

You may also be given a prescription for a dietary supplement that will best meet your
personal nutrient requirements.

Such a scenario may one day become reality as scientist uncover the genetic relationship
between diet and disease.

Until then however we need to know that current genetic test kits
commonly available on the Internet are unproven.

Underweight people.

Underweight is affecting more than 5 percent of U.S. Adults.

Whether the underweight person needs to gain weight is a question of health and , like weight loss, a highly individual matter.

Healthful weight gains can be achieved only by physical conditioning combined with high energy intakes.

Weight-Gain strategies center on :
*Energy-Dense Food
*Regular Meals Daily
*Large Portions.
*Extra Snacks
*Juice and Milk.
*Exercising to Build Muscles.

We don't expect tall people to shrink

Many people assume that every obese persona can achieve slenderness and should pursue that goal.

First consider that most obese people do not -for whatever reason – successfully lose weight and maintain their losses. Then consider the prejudice involved in that assumption.

People come with varying weight tendencies, just as they come with varying potentials for height and degrees of health, yet we don't expect tall people to shrink or healthy people to get sick in an effort to become normal.
