DNA mapping….Your Genes Say A Lot about You

They say that there is no end to human whims and desires but I say that if there were no desires then we would still be living in Stone Age. It is only due to the human curiosity, the human quest and the human desire to progress that we have reached where we are. The most suited example to this could be the Human Genome Project that lasted nearly 20 years. It was as though the existence of DNA was not enough for our scientists since it took them 20 years to unravel the mystery behind DNA. And, there is still lot more to come. So, what actually is Human Genome Project?

According to genomics .energy.gov, “ Human Genome project was undertaken to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in Human DNA, to determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, and to address the ethical, legal and social issues that may arise from the project.” And, truly the results and findings were startling. During the project, it was discovered that we could actually identify any potential threat to the body through a DNA test. Simply put, it is a pain-free way of finding out whether you are at risk for developing a genetic disease. This was called DNA mapping and now this finding is being used in formulating DNA customized nutrition.

DNA customized nutrition as the name suggest, is tailor made after conducting a simple cheek swab DNA test. This test helps in identifying the faulty genes and then customized nutrition is made containing vital nutrients and ingredients. In short, DNA customized nutrition is a plan tailored to an individual’s own genetic make-up. Thus, it perfectly blends with the human system and enhances the health status.
