Omega-3 essential fatty acids and stress Here at myDNAhealth, we are continuing to focus on stress as part of Stress Awareness by looking at why Omega 3 fats should be part of our stress management toolkit. Omega 3 is an ‘essential’ fatty acid as the body cannot make it, and we must eat it as part of our diet. Once we have consumed omega 3 fats, our body’s biochemistry works to metabolise these building blocks into important compounds for our health, such as hormones, immune regulating compounds and structural components of the brain. As part of good health, it is vital to ensure that we have ..read more

COMT gene – Part of the genetic balance of stress In the UK, April is Stress Awareness Month! Stress management is all about balance. But did you know your genetics is influencing how sensitive you are to stress? Understanding your COMT genetic variant may help you can able to cope with stress. Are you a ‘warrior’ or a ‘worrier’? One of the underlying factors contributing to how we react during stressful circumstances is the enzyme Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). The role of COMT is to breakdown certain compounds known as catechols, and in our brain, its crucial role is the breakdown of ..read more

A study on the impact of stress and mental health as a result of Covid-19 restrictions in the UK The Stress Management Society collaborated with Huawei AppGallery to conduct a study on stress, gathering data from 2000 British adults. The research identified that 65% of people in the UK have felt more stressed since the COVID-19 restrictions began in March 2020. The three key causes for concern are feelings of disconnection, uncertainty, and a worrying loss of control. Key findings: 65% felt more stressed since the Covid-19 restrictions began 53% felt more anxious than usual 44% were more dep ..read more

October 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Human Genome Project (HGP) The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a ground-breaking international scientific research collaboration where researchers worked towards a united goal of determining our entire DNA code. The project got underway 30 years ago in 1990 with the high aspiration of allowing us to fully understand our genetic code and the functions of genes and proteins. To celebrate this noteworthy anniversary, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) who co-ordinated the project have commissioned 30 interviews wit ..read more

APOE and Health – clues for COVID-19 genetics Since the emergence of the COVID-19 disease pandemic (caused by the virus SARS2-CoV-2), we have seen high transmission rates of the virus and a wide variation of disease severity in populations across the globe[1]. Details have begun to emerge of specific risk factors predisposing sufferers to an increase in the severity of symptoms such as metabolic dysregulation and obesity [2]. Researchers are now beginning to consider our underlying genomics as another possibility. An early observation study conducted by researchers at Exeter University has fo ..read more

What do we know about obesity and genomics? In this article, Dr Eve Pearce, myDNAhealth’s scientific officer, explains the genetic differences between people in the development of obesity. The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting unprecedented challenges globally. Recent reports have suggested that obesity is one of the underlying health conditions that can cause a more severe reaction to COVID-19 infection. This is significant given that the majority of adults in England are overweight or obese, and indeed worldwide, around 1.9 billion adults are living with overweight and obesity. Given these ..read more

A slow return to normality? How consumers adapt to COVID-19 and the coronavirus recession will have long-lasting effects. We saw in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis that consumers kept their savvy shopping behaviour long after the worst of their financial difficulties passed. This time, consumers are adjusting to cheaper, convenient forms of wellness services in the home. It is also unlikely that people will rush back out once social distancing measures are lifted. The experience from China suggests that normality will return gradually. For businesses, this means working harder t ..read more

Ways nutrition could help your immune system The coronavirus presents many uncertainties, and none of us can completely eliminate our risk of getting COVID 19. But one thing we can do is to plan our meals to include powerful immune system boosters. Micronutrients essential to fight infection include vitamins A, B, C, and E, and the minerals selenium, and zinc. Vitamin A Vitamin A helps to power your eyesight, especially your night vision, and keeps your skin, gums, and teeth healthy. It also boosts your immune system and helps fight off viruses. The older you get, the more you seem to n ..read more
