Your healthcare professional will explain what these results may mean for your health and you will learn more about how your genetic predisposition can influence your weight and food choices. Knowing more about these influences means that you and your healthcare professional can develop practical strategies to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. For example, if you have genetic variations that increase your appetite, you may be able to use exercise to help reduce your hunger. If you have genetic variations that influence your ability to taste bitter flavours, you may be able to use naturally sweet snacks like fresh fruit and low fat yoghurt to manage cravings for less healthy sweet foods.
