David Graham’s Personal Experience with Nutrigenetic Testing, Part 2
Last week, Toronto Star Life writer wrote about his check-up at Scienta Health. The results from his tests are back.
First and foremost, I apparently have two genes that promote longevity, interleukin 6 and 10. These genes are “over represented in males centurians,” according to Chin.
But here’s the deal. Despite the fact that I have these awesome genes, many of my lifestyle choices conspire to erode the possibility that I’ll actually live that long.
That’s the trouble, isn’t it? Simply being alive circumvents our genes’ full potential. A double-edged sword.
Graham goes on to describe in detail his medical and genetic work-up. I think I’d feel overwhelmed with all that info, and it sounds like he might be too.
Now I’m burdened with the responsibility of taking care of myself. No more Que Sera Sera attitude. I’ve got to mend my evil ways.
Evil? Hardly. It’s impossible to live so angelically that our genes won’t have the opportunity to act up. Maintaining our health is certainly important, but don’t let it get you down!
