The Vitl Nutrition Team / 29 Nov 2019
Genetics can not only provide insights into how you’re likely to store fat and build muscle (also known as your ‘body composition’), but they can also indicate how the body works with glucose and fat stores to fuel physical activity, which can give further insight into how to tailor your routine to the advantage of your natural athletic capability.
The rate at which glycogen is converted into glucose is dependent on both your genetics 2 and lifestyle.
At Vitl, we aim to end the confusion with our DNA Nutrition Test and finally help you understand your body’s genetic relationship with exercise. There are also lifestyle factors that can have an impact on glycolytic capacity include fasting, intake of dietary carbohydrates and type of exercise 3. Find out whether an endurance or strength training is better suited for you and take advantage of our Black Friday deal.
