Nutritional Typing - 2 Additional Health Indicators

Following a nutritional program that is based on your own biochemistry and genetics is the key to success when it has to do with being healthy. A nutritional program that takes into account your own personal biochemistry and genetics will work because it helps you understand your own body and achieve optimum health. 

In contrast, the programs that are out there do not accomplish this. These programs fail because they try to provide one solution for every body. Yet, there is one basic fact that these programs ignore. This is that everyone is different and that one person's food may be another person's poison.

In the previous articles we have learned that in order to begin with your own personalized nutrition program, first you have to learn more about four factors that can help you learn more about your own body and your current situation.

The first factor we learned about was your insulin levels. Insulin plays a crucial role in your body as it can help you get your blood levels down to normal. Without insulin, it is likely that you would die or go into a coma. However, we also learned that having too much insulin in your body can be counter productive.

We also learned that you have to keep your waist size as close as possible to the ideal weight. The waist size can help you see if you are in risks of health problems because of being over weight or even obese.

Now, there are two other indicators that you have to pay close attention to when you are starting your personalized nutrition program. 

One of the other two factors is your blood pressure is 120/80. This factor is often related to insulin levels as insulin levels can contribute to elevated blood pressure.

The fourth and last factors has to do with cholesterol. Now, what matters is not the total cholesterol, but rather the ratio of HDL to total cholesterol and the ratio of triglycerides to HDL. The ideal HDL to Total Cholesterol ratio should be above 24%, although 30% or higher is better. 

Furthermore, the Triglyceride to HDL ratio should be below 2. The higher the number is the worse your insulin control.
