foods are high in the vitamins<\/a> you may not absorb well. With this information, you can increase your vitamin and mineral intake naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI am sure there are many disease processes associated with the deficiency of vitamins and minerals that we are not aware of today. But with the increase of studies and the new DNA studies out there, we are making significant strides in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We talked about essential micronutrients, and the relationship genetics has with them. We also discussed several other vitamins, like vitamins B and E, and minerals such as calcium, selenium, and zinc, are also affected by our genetic profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We now know that a better understanding of your genetics can help you determine your nutrient needs. One size does not fit all. So knowing your DNA profile can help you make better future dietary choices, and take you one step further towards a healthier life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But wait one minute, that’s not all! I am a firm believer and have read the information that states a deficiency in some vitamins and minerals directly link to specific autoimmune diseases. How many of these links do we not know about yet? If you tend to be low in a particular vitamin but do not have any symptoms, however, does this make it OK? Your doctor can not test for vitamin deficiency if you don’t have symptoms, but can he check if your DNA says you may be low? It is worth a try and a thought that may help to solve an issue that you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know this for sure, but in my nursing history, there are so many things we do not know about our bodies. But I do know that a simple DNA swab test may be the answer you search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your thoughts on micronutrients and DNA testing? How do you feel about the breakthroughs in science that can help with the affects on disease? I would love to hear from you.
