Can “Cell Screening” suppress your Degeneration?

Certainly, nobody would like to suffer from diseases and how we can extend more time for our body to be young as long as possible while also having good health? This is not your problem anymore as an obstetrician,Dr. Thisara weerasamai from Phyathai 1 hospital has all answers for you.

What is “Gene” ?

“Gene” is the smallest unit of body’s cells. Its function runs under the genetic influence which defines a difference of each person individually from both, inside and outside. It is similar to blueprint if compares to a building structure. Black hair color, brown or different eye colors, all transferred from the gene that externally appears to be seen. On the other hand, there are also invisible parts such as intelligence, internal organ functions, the risk for diseases, side effect from medical use, metabolism system and exercise efficiency that we are unable to observe by vision. For that reason, the gene then has to work as a genetic code that uniquely indicates each of us. When several abnormalities occur to it, the body would be affected and eventually leading to illness.

“Genetic Screening” Vs. “Anti-aging”

Nowadays, genetic screening applied to detect some disorders in the body is simple as it can screen the cells to estimate the risk that we may face it in the future. Furthermore, apart from cells screening, the gene can also be detected and it directly connects with the science of anti-aging. Moreover, genetic screening can indicate the following details about the body:

• Food and nutrition suitable for genes for example, our consumption intake as well as risk from intake foods. Thus, the genetic screening will make treatment more effective and direct.
• Type of exercise that is suitable for genes in each person is different. Thus, benefits the body will receive will also be different.
• The risk of developing degenerative diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc. When you can have the screening, plan for long-term treatment will be prepared since the beginning by a doctor.
• The result will tell you about certain carriers of diseases which your body may be having such as thalassemia or genetic diseases. You can use these results with the planning for pregnancy including receiving check-up for the risk screening during the pregnancy as well.
• The risk for cancer, as we know that the gene must be sent from our parents, therefore, we can have a chance of getting cancer which is a reson why the screening is needed.
• Knowing response or side effects from certain medical use since we are unable to predict allergic symptom from the medicine before taking it.

After knowing the benefits from screening, it is important to know who needs to receive this genetic testing. The first group is those having some risk inherited genes from a family, the second is a couple who would like to have their first child or anyone that concern about health prevention. However, age should not be considered for an examination as everyone can have this type of screening, at the same time, having good health externally and internally can slow the time of body degeneration up to 10 years.
