A disease is easier to prevent than to cure - an indisputable truth that we hear from childhood. Fortunately, in recent years, there have been even more opportunities for researching the body. In addition to popular health checks (free medical examinations in polyclinics and paid examinations in private medical centers), genetic tests are gaining popularity. They are designed to show not only your predisposition to certain diseases, but also to obtain information about the origin, characteristics of metabolism, and even tell about your talents and propensities for specific sports. One such report on the results of a DNA test can stretch over 50 pages. Without questioning the importance of research on the human genome, some scientists still classify DNA tests in the B2C segment as entertaining genetics - they show a very wide picture,which has no practical value without additional detailed research. On the other hand, genetic tests are a story about a personal approach to your health and the ability to identify "beacons" that you should pay attention to in the future, as well as the ability to adjust your diet and lifestyle if necessary. The main condition is to choose a proven clinic, focusing on research results, reputation and cost of tests (it should not be critically low or too high).
