Are You Getting all the Vitamins & Minerals Your Body Needs?

To provide your body with all the micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, you need to consume a healthy and well balanced diet. Micronutrients are an essential requirement for your body - they are the fuel for your body to function and carry out its tasks.

Important micronutrients required to build a healthy, disease free body

• Group of Vitamin B - Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine, Niacin, Cyanocobalamin, Folic acid and Biotin: They play an important role in maintaining your health. They are the building blocks of your body’s health, and have an impact on the functioning of your brain, energy, metabolism, and also helps to prevent infections.

• Vitamin D: helps your body in absorbing and retaining minerals like calcium and phosphorus that are required for building bone health.

• Omega 3 fatty acids: are integral for building and improving your cardiovascular health.

• Antioxidants: protect your cells from free radicals, thereby preventing you from developing heart, cancer and other diseases. 

Fruits and vegetables are good sources of micronutrients. Add these to your diet because they contain all essential vitamins and minerals. Some non-vegetarian foods are also good sources of these micronutrients.

How would you know if you are providing your body with the ideal micronutrients?

You can know your current micronutrient levels easily with a blood workup that’s done in a laboratory health checkup. You can also understand your genetic predisposition for vitamin and mineral deficiency with a DNAwise genetic test. Your DNA influences your body’s ability to absorb and use micronutrients. Personalizing your food intake to match your genetic build can help you supply your body with the optimum amounts of vitamins and minerals needed for it to be healthy, and prevent yourself from deficiencies.

How can knowledge from your DNAwise genetic test enrich your diet?

Considering you are a vegetarian - you can include vegetables as a staple food in your diet plan. Vegetables are a wonderful source of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Depending on your genetic tendencies towards the deficiencies and metabolism of micronutrients, you can consume vegetables that can add these in your body. Vegetables also promote a healthy stomach and digestive system, also reduce your risk of high blood sugar level. 

What else can your genes tell you about your body and food intake?

Your genetic build can be unravelled into a report that outlines your food intolerances like lactose intolerance. In case you have a genetic likelihood of developing lactose intolerance, your DNAwise genetic counsellor will guide you about what you can add to your diet instead of dairy.
