Health is wealth, we all know that. But did you know that investing and getting yourself insured can make you the healthiest you’ve ever been? That through these money-wise moves, you’ll be able to understand your body better and acquire a diet and exercise plan that’s tailored and ideal for you, plus reduce your risks for life-threatening diseases like diabetes?
Indeed, all these are achievable through the myDNA Pro Bundle, the latest life insurance offering from Pru Life UK. This breakthrough product cleverly combines Pru Life UK’s investment-linked life insurance plan Insuravest with the precision health program myDNA Pro, which provides customized diet and fitness recommendations for optimum health based on an individual’s DNA.
Why pair a life insurance plan with a DNA-based program?
It’s Pru Life UK’s way of helping Filipinos establish healthier lifestyles, said the company’s chief marketing officer Allan Tumbaga during the launch of the myDNA Pro Bundle at the Crowne Plaza Manila Hotel in Quezon City. With this unique, holistic package, he added, customers get not just life and wealth protection but also health management.
Prenetics Limited, the Hong Kong-based genetics testing company that developed the myDNA Pro program, on the other hand, wants DNA testing to be more accessible and affordable, and to benefit many, not only a few. It is also responding to what appeals most to customers, as studies have shown, namely “personalization, engagement, and innovation,” according to Prenetics chief executive officer Danny Yeung. In fact, Yeung pointed out, “92 percent of customers expect their insurance provider to help them manage their risk.”
MyDNA Pro analyzes more than 100 genes and provides answers to numerous health-related questions, including, “Which diet is best for you?” “What type of exercise would be most beneficial for you?” “What is the rate of your metabolism?” “Which vitamins are you more likely to be deficient in?” and “Are you at a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol due to your genetics?”
Everyone who undergoes myDNA Pro’s genetic testing will receive two reports: a nutrigenomics test report or the nutrition, diet, and exercise profile of the individual, and a comprehensive health risk report report, which details the person’s genetic risk of specific chronic diseases, lifestyle assessment, and consolidated health score. Some of the handy and enlightening particulars that can be found in the multi-page nutrigenomics report are the customer’s nutrient needs (vitamins, folic acid, antioxidants, etc.), food and dietary sensitivities (to alcohol, fat, gluten, caffeine, and more), and fitness and wellbeing issues (obesity risk, oxygen efficiency, appetite control, inflammatory response, etc.). Prenetics takes accuracy very seriously so all reports are validated and thoroughly explained by a dietician. They are likewise secure and confidential, as only the customer and the Prenetics health coach are privy to them.
In addition to the reports, customers will gain a year’s access to the exclusive myDNA Pro mobile app where they can consult and work with their own health coach, monitor their diet and exercise through fun features like a photo food diary and a steps tracker, be part of a rewards program, and learn significantly from a 16-week lifestyle intervention program that uses a tried and tested curriculum.
Yeung shared that when he had a DNA test about two and a half years ago, he found out that he was highly sensitive to carbohydrates and to salt. Knowing this, he modified his diet accordingly, and has since lost over 10 kilos, even if admittedly, he doesn’t exercise and has no time for it. “I already take proactive measures to my health and I’m reducing my risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high blood pressure, which is associated with salt. We want to help people understand how genetics work for these diseases so once they have their results, they can make proactive changes in their diet, lifestyle, and exercise. It’s not a death sentence if you have bad genes and a high risk. You can take preventive measures to moderate risks and improve your health.”
To embark on your own DNA-based journey to health, just purchase any of Pru Life UK’s Insuravest plans bundled with myDNA Pro: PRUlink assurance account plus, PRUlink exact protector or PRUlink elite protector. Minimum investment amount per year is P70,000 or $
1,400 for the first two plans and P75,000 or $1,700 for the PRUlink elite protector myDNA Pro Bundle, with payment terms of five, seven, 10, or 15 years. Covers for disability, accident, hospitalization, and critical illness are also provided in the package for total health and protection.
Once you become a Pru Life Insuravest-myDNA Pro Bundleplan holder, you will get a redemption code for online activation and receipt of your myDNA Pro kit. You can then proceed with the easy and convenient DNA sampling. Fill up the registration form that comes with the kit and use the other items inside as directed to safely collect and store your saliva swab sample for DNA testing. A complimentary courier service will pick up your kit and send it to the Prenetics laboratory to be analyzed by a team of scientists and dieticians. Within 10 days, you will receive your test results via email and will be able to download the myDNA Pro mobile app and fully enjoy its features.
Who knew being prudent could be so healthy?
