Celebrating Nutrition Month 2024: A Healthier Philippines with EasyDNA PH
Have you ever heard the old saying, ‘There’s no time like the present?’ It means that right now is the best time to do something! And it’s true. It may be hot and rainy here in the Philippines right now, but it’s truly the perfect time to get your health goals in order.
July is Nutrition Month, and this year, the theme is ‘Kumain nang Wasto at Maging Aktibo…Push Natin ‘to!’, Eat Healthy and Do Physical Activity…Let’s Push This!’
July is Nutrition Month in the Philippines, a time to spotlight the importance of proper nutrition and its role in our overall health and well-being. At EasyDNA PH, we are excited to join this nationwide celebration with a special focus on how DNA testing can empower you to make informed decisions about your nutrition and lifestyle.
Understanding Nutrition Month
Nutrition Month is an annual event in the Philippines, spearheaded by the National Nutrition Council (NNC). The goal is to promote awareness and encourage action towards better nutrition, healthier eating habits, and active lifestyles. This year, the theme centres around the crucial link between nutrition and disease prevention, highlighting how proper dietary choices can ward off chronic illnesses.
So what simple things can you do, to improve your overall health? With a little effort, healthy eating is possible for everyone. First, you can check your diet. Are there lots of processed, non-fresh foods? How do they make you feel? Where does your food come from? What about starting a small, kitchen garden to ensure that you have the basics? Shopping locally and buying seasonal produce can also improve your nutrition, as well as support producers in your area.
Did you know that your genes can play an important part in your health? For those people who really want to invest in their health and nutrition, there are a number of products from EasyDNA Philippines that can help to improve these aspects of your life. The tests include:
Genetic Predisposition Health Test By looking at your DNA profile, this test will allow you to establish whether you have a genetic predisposition toward developing any one of 34 diseases and conditions, including Type 1 and 2 diabetes, and obesity.
DNA Diet and Healthy Weight Test This test can help you understand why you can’t keep off those extra pounds, providing you the personalised nutrition and fitness recommendations you need to get your weight to budge – and keep it off. Your results will also reveal which nutrients and vitamins you are in need of.
Lactose Intolerance Test Did you know that dairy foods can have a negative effect on some people’s health? If you feel bloated, uncomfortable or suffer from indigestion after consuming dairy products, you may have an intolerance to lactose.
Celiac Disease Genetic Testing Celiac disease is a serious genetic autoimmune disorder that can be controlled by changes to your diet.
The Role of DNA in Nutrition
Each person’s nutritional needs are unique, and DNA testing can offer invaluable insights into your body’s specific requirements. Our range of Health & Wellbeing Tests at EasyDNA PH can help you understand how your genetic makeup affects your metabolism, dietary needs, and risk for certain health conditions. By aligning your diet with your DNA, you can achieve optimal health and well-being.
Nutrition Month is the perfect time to take charge of your health and well-being. With the insights gained from DNA testing, you can tailor your diet and lifestyle to meet your unique needs.
