Indus Health Plus recently launched DNAwise 2.0, a revolutionary personal genomics test. It is a genetic test that decodes the genetic makeup and informs an individual about the predisposition for various health conditions. Besides, it helps to understand the best diet and fitness regime for a person.
The advanced DNAwise 2.0 has expanded its horizon of genetic analysis by incorporating 17 new parameters under health, nutrition and fitness. In addition, a new category – ‘Habit’ has also been introduced which reports on three parameters: Alcohol dependence, Caffeine consumption, and Nicotine dependence. It has been observed that people have a tendency for high consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine in many forms like smoking, tobacco chewing etc. Genetics play an important role in determining the tendency for above mentioned habits (addictions) along with various psychological and environmental factors.
