Unlock the Secrets to Healthy Aging with the Longevity DNA Test
As we grow older, the way our body ages is influenced by a variety of factors. While genetics play a significant role, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and daily habits also contribute to how we experience the ageing process.
EasyDNA’s Longevity Test offers a detailed analysis of key biological markers that provide insight into how your genes influence ageing.
This test focuses on four important biological processes: chronic inflammation, glycation, DNA methylation, and oxidative stress. By identifying genetic predispositions in these areas, the test helps you make informed decisions about your health and lifestyle to improve longevity and quality of life.
By undertaking our Longevity DNA Test, you gain personalized information to enhance your well-being and adopt targeted strategies aimed at decelerating the aging process.
The test uses a simple cheek swab (buccal sample), no blood is required, and results are available within 5 to 7 business days.
Why Opt for a Longevity DNA Test and What Does It Analyze?
The Longevity Test from EasyDNA is designed to assess critical markers linked to the ageing process. By examining genetic factors that influence inflammation, sugar metabolism, DNA repair, and oxidative damage, the test offers a personalized overview of how your body is likely to respond to age-related challenges.
The results don’t simply indicate a biological age, but instead highlight areas that may need attention to prevent future health issues and slow down the ageing process.
This comprehensive test examines the following key areas:
Chronic Inflammation: The Hidden Culprit of Ageing
Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system, but when it becomes chronic, it can contribute to various health problems. As we age, low-grade, ongoing inflammation, known as “inflammaging,” increases, affecting tissues and organs. This can lead to the development of diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and arthritis.
The IL6 gene is involved in regulating inflammation, and certain genetic variants can make inflammation more persistent, increasing the risk of these age-related conditions.
If your genetic profile reveals a variant of the IL6 gene linked to higher inflammation, your body might have a higher tendency for chronic inflammation, which can accelerate ageing and the onset of diseases.
What does the Longevity Test examine?
This test looks at specific genes linked to how your body manages inflammation. It helps determine whether you're genetically inclined to experience a stronger inflammatory response and offers personalised recommendations to help minimise it.
Health Recommendations:
Follow an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, like those found in the Mediterranean diet.
Engage in regular physical activity, including both aerobic and strength exercises.
Consider adding supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids, Boswellia extract, and Curcumin to your daily routine to reduce inflammation.
Glycation: The Silent Process That Ages Your Cells
Glycation occurs when excess sugar in the bloodstream binds to proteins, leading to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which damage tissues and accelerate the ageing process. The PPARG gene, which affects how the body handles insulin and fat, can influence the extent to which glycation occurs.
If the body struggles with insulin resistance, glycation can become more prevalent, leading to metabolic problems like obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
If you carry an unfavourable variant of the PPARG gene, your body might be less efficient at processing insulin, which can increase the risk of insulin resistance, weight gain, and the development of diabetes.
What does the Longevity Test examine?
This test analyse your genetic makeup to assess how susceptible you are to glycation and provide tailored nutritional advice to help counter its impact.
Health Recommendations:
Maintain a low glycaemic diet by focusing on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
Engage in consistent physical exercise, which helps regulate insulin sensitivity.
Manage stress effectively through relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises to improve metabolic function.
DNA Methylation: Maintaining the Body’s Genetic Integrity
DNA methylation is an essential process that regulates gene expression and DNA repair. As we age, our methylation system becomes less efficient, which can lead to genetic instability and accelerated ageing. The MTHFR gene plays a crucial role in methylation, particularly in managing levels of homocysteine and folic acid.
Certain variants of this gene may lead to high homocysteine levels, which are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and neurological issues.
If your genetic profile shows an unfavourable variant of the MTHFR gene, it can affect your ability to process folic acid properly, which may result in higher homocysteine levels and raise your risk of heart disease and cognitive decline.
What does the Longevity Test examine?
The test examines crucial genes linked to this process to determine how well your body supports cellular health and ageing.
Health Recommendations:
Opt for active folates, such as 5-MTHF or methylfolate, instead of standard folic acid.
Follow a well-balanced diet that includes folate-rich foods like leafy greens, legumes, citrus fruits, and eggs.
Take supplements such as Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, and Betaine to support better homocysteine metabolism.

Oxidative Stress: Protecting Cells from Damage
Oxidative stress arises when the body produces an excessive number of free radicals, which can damage cells and accelerate ageing. This damage is a key factor in the development of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative conditions. The SOD2 gene produces an enzyme that helps neutralize these free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage.
However, some genetic variants of the SOD2 gene can reduce the enzyme’s effectiveness, leaving the body more vulnerable to cell damage.
If your SOD2 gene variant is less effective, it may result in a higher level of oxidative stress in your body, increasing the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s.
What does the Longevity Test examine?
The test investigates the genes that influence your body’s ability to produce natural antioxidants and gauges your susceptibility to oxidative stress. It then provides personalised recommendations to support and boost your cellular defense system.
Health Recommendations:
Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods into your diet, such as blueberries, carrots, spinach, and nuts, to help combat oxidative stress.
Add antioxidant supplements like Vitamin E, Lipoic Acid, Resveratrol, and Quercetin to your routine.
Practice a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, regular physical activity, and stress management to reduce oxidative damage.

FAQs
A food sensitivity is a reaction of your body to food digested. Unlike a food allergy, if you suffer from food sensitivity the adverse reaction is generally delayed.
If you want to improve your health and have a better lifestyle it is recommended to understand if your body reacts to certain foods or not.
Many people struggle all their life with food intolerance, a suffering that can be avoided with a simple change in the diet.
Food sensitivity is a reaction of your body when you digest some specific foods. If you suffer from gas, bloating, fatigue, acne, diarrhea, or stomachache you may have a food sensitivity. Those reactions are not immediate.
Food intolerance is when your body does not have a specific enzyme, as a result after digesting some foods your body can’t break it down. The most common intolerance is lactose intolerance. If you suspect you may have an intolerance it is advised to take our Food & Pet Intolerance Test.
Red wine and other fermented foods or drinks may contain histamine. It is not uncommon that some people may have difficulties to break down this organic compound.
Inconclusive refers to an indeterminate result – hence the laboratory could not detect the alleles or a gene was not found. This is nothing wrong, it simply means that when analysing your sample the results were outside what the software expects, therefore the laboratory cannot say or not if there is a sensitivity.
No, you don’t need to take the Food & Pet Intolerance Test each year. The test analyses your DNA to discover your sensitivities and DNA does not alter throughout the years; therefore you won’t need to retake this test again.
