When it's difficult to get inside your Jeans, it's time to look into your Genes!
A recent survey shows that India is the world's third most obese nation. With obesity, comes a wide range of related disorders like diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure and lots more. With 30 million obese people, that is a pretty frightening statistic.
What makes Indians prone to gain weight? The answer to this question lies inside our own selves. Inside our genes. Genes are small segments of DNA, the master molecule of life, which controls everything; from the color of our hair to the most complex metabolic functions. If gaining weight is written in our genes, it also follows that the secret to losing weight is also within our genes.
Research has identified these "weight gain genes." Another important breakthrough has led us to the conclusion that the food that we eat impacts our genes. Hence by supporting our genes through the right diet, accompanied by exercise and lifestyle changes, we stand to lose weight effectively. We can also sustain our perfect weight for as long as we live and enjoy a life full of health and wellness.
We can detect the presence of such genes through a DNA test that uses a saliva sample that can be derived painlessly. After testing, a comprehensive report is generated on the basis of which personalized diet and exercise recommendations are made by a Nutrigenomic Counselor for you to follow.

8 out of 10 Indians are suffering from High Homocysteine Levels (Hyper-Homocysteinemia ) and most of them are unaware of the associated risks*.
What is Homocysteine?
Homocysteine is a type of amino acid, a chemical your body uses to make proteins. Proteins are building blocks of body useful for development of muscles, energy production and immunity development. Normally vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and folic acid break down homocysteine, after completion of its function and change it into other substances your body needs. There should be very little homocysteine left in the bloodstream.
What is High Homocysteine Level?
In a healthy person, homocysteine levels are 15 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L).
Homocysteine level more than 15 micromoles per iter (mcmol/L) is considered as High Homocysteine Levels.
What risks are associated with High Homocysteine Level?
Cardiovascular Diseases
Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
What are causes of High Homocysteine Level?
• Vitamin B Deficiency (Genetic Tests are available)
• Food rich in methionine, creatinine
• Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, renal and thyroid dysfunction, cancer, psoriasis
• Smoking, Alcohol, Tobacco (Genetic Tests are available)
• Genetic Factor (Genetic Tests are available) • Gluten Intolerance (Genetic Tests are available)
•Lactose Intolerance (Genetic Tests are available)
What are management of High Homocysteine Level?
Homocysteine levels can be managed with the proper forms of B vitamins.
• Folic acid or Folate
• Vitamin B12 or methylcobalamin
• Vitamin B6 or pyridoxal 5'-phosphate • Vitamin B2 or riboflavin-5-phosphate
How to find out High Homocysteine Level?
Homocysteine levels can be determined by a simple blood test of homocysteine.
