High GI (glycemic) Index<br />

Food types with a high glycaemic index contain<br />

sugars, that enter the blood stream quickly and<br />

cause a rapid rise of the blood sugar levels. Certain<br />

genes counteract this effect, but some genetic<br />

variants can cause this system to be less effective.<br />

As a consequence, certain genetic types should<br />

avoid food types with a high glycaemic index.<br />

Coffee<br />

Coffee contains a high dose of antioxidants and<br />

hence can be beneficial in the prevention of certain<br />

metabolic problems caused by free radicals. The<br />

caffeine can however have a negative impact on<br />

bone health and should be avoided by certain<br />

genetic types.<br />

Potassium<br />

Potassium is an important nutrient for a variety of<br />

body functions and has a strong impact on blood<br />

pressure and cognitive health. Certain genetic<br />

types benefit from a higher potassium intake.<br />

Calcium<br />

Calcium is an important component of many bodily<br />

functions. Certain genetic types require higher<br />

amounts of calcium for optimal bone health and to<br />

aid in detoxification.<br />

increased.<br />

Methylsulfonylmethan<br />

This organic sulphur compound reduces the<br />

agressivenes of the immune system and can help<br />

protect joints in certain genetic types.<br />

Sodium<br />

Sodium is a component of table salt and can lead to<br />

a rise in blood pressure in certain people.<br />

Oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, phytic acid<br />

These substances are contained within many types<br />

of food and can have a negative impact on bone<br />

health.<br />

Phytosterol<br />

In genetic types, where omega 3 fatty acids have a<br />

negative impact on HDL cholesterol levels,<br />

phytosterols are a good alternative to improve<br />

cholesterol levels.<br />

Purine<br />

Purines can be produced by our bodies, but are also<br />

taken up in high amounts when eating animal<br />

products. Too high amounts of purines can have a<br />

negative impact on joint health in certain genetic<br />

types.<br />

Copper<br />

Copper is an important component of many<br />

enzymes and is therefore an important trace<br />

element for the metabolism. It has also been shown<br />

to reduce the agressiveness of the immune system<br />

and to improve eye health.<br />

Lactose<br />

The milk sugar lactose contains calories and can not<br />

be digested well by some genetic types. Depending<br />

on genetics, certain people react negatively to<br />

lactose and should reduce its consumption.<br />

Lutein and Lycopene<br />

Lutein and lycopene are substances from the group<br />

of carotins and have schown to be beneficial for eye<br />

health. Therefore, an increased intake of these<br />

substances is beneficial for certain genetic types.<br />

Magnesium<br />

Magnesium is an essential component of more than<br />

300 enzymes, and therefore particularly important<br />

for the metabolism, for the functioning of the<br />

muscle cells, as well as for bone health.<br />

Manganese<br />

Manganese is an important component of many<br />

enzymes and has an impact on the protection from<br />

free radicals and of the joints. Certain genetic types<br />

benefit in these areas if manganese intake is<br />
