BLOOMINGTON, IN, March 08, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Predictive Physiology and Medicine (PPM), a health and life sciences company that develops personalized health products, today announced the release of its new Viveda Nutrition Assessment. A blood test that analyzes more than 100 nutrients in the body, Viveda Nutrition evaluates how your diet is affecting your health. Poor eating habits are a major contributor to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and impaired immune function.

The Viveda Nutrition Assessment measures an individual's level of important nutrients including amino acids, electrolytes, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Armed with this information, physicians and patients can pinpoint problem areas and develop specific action steps to remedy them. Sometimes it's as simple as adding certain foods or supplements to the diet, but in some instances significant behavioral changes may be in order.

Typically, when patients get bloodwork done, results can be hard to get and are often impossible to understand. Developed to be patient friendly, Viveda translates results using colorful graphics that are easy to read and informative. Individuals can request the Viveda Nutrition Assessment through their own physician or contact a Viveda MD. Once a physician draws the blood sample, it takes just 7-10 days to complete the analysis and receive online results.

PPM's Director of Clinical Lab and Health Promotion Autumn Workman said, "Reliable information on how our eating habits impact our bodies is hard to identify because of the volumes of misinformation distributed to consumers. This assessment provides both a measure of personal health status and research-based information to understand that status." Workman went on to say, "This information helps individuals make the needed lifestyle adjustments - all from a wellness and disease prevention perspective."

Timing for the release of the Viveda Nutrition Assessment coincides with National Nutrition Month . This campaign by the American Dietetic Association focuses attention on the importance of making informed good choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
