National Nutrigenomics Study, Volunteers Wanted - Some Interesting Benefits

mloc

I'm currently involved in the running of a National Nutritional Study and as part of this we are under taking a Nutrigenomics study in the Dublin area.

For those who aren't sure what Nutrigenomics is about, it is the field of study that examines how the interaction between genetics and nutrition affects human health. The program, called JINGO MECHE (http://www.ucd.ie/jingo/research_programme/index.html) is currently in the recruitment phase and as such we are looking for volunteers.

Why volunteer? Well, there are several benefits to volunteering that may of particular interest to users of this forum, including:

* A general blood check (diabetes, cholesterol, anaemia…)

* An assessment of your fitness, strength, body fat and bone density using state-of-the-art equipment (this is of particular interest to users of the Fitness forum, and would usually be rather expensive)

* All travel costs are reimbursed, food is provided when you visit us

If you are interested and would either like to participate or get more information, just send an email to:

jingo@ucd.ie

I'll even make it easier and draft the email for you!

Hello,

My name is X and I am interested in volunteering/learning more about the JINGO MECHE study.

In order to be eligible, you must be:

* Aged 18 – 60 years

* Not treated for any medical condition

* Resident in the Dublin area

If you are unsure if you fit in either of these categories, just ask in the email. From my own personal end, I would be particularly interested in overweight/obese individuals who would like to volunteer although people of all weights are welcome!
