Write your life the right way with DNA analysis - Pru Life UK promotes a scientific approach to health and wellness

Tweet

Filipinos are deeply superstitious. Many still believe that a pregnant woman’s cravings (paglilihi) affect her child’s development. Some do not wash their hands after hours of rigorous work to avoid pasma. Some go as far as trusting an albularyo or even a manghuhula for seeking health remedies or advice.

In Pru Life UK’s newest television commercial which you can watch athttps://youtu.be/pkv8ZUJHXYc, a fortune teller reveals a man’s fate through palm reading, tarot cards, and a crystal ball. After finding out his future, she gets scared and runs away, leaving the poor man alone and clueless. Would you trust someone like that with your future?

“When it comes to our health, we cannot take chances with unverified sources and unscientific claims,” says Allan Tumbaga, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Pru Life UK. “Pru Life UK’s latest insuravest plan, the myDNA Pro Bundle, offers customers security and confidence due to advanced science and innovative insurance solutions. Through this product, people can set a vision and take charge of their lives.”

Science identifies your body’s unique needs

Luckily today, you can rely on science-based technologies such as myDNA Pro to understand how your body responds to lifestyle, food choices, and certain chemicals. For instance, if the results show that your body requires help to absorb calcium, you can follow a personalized diet or wellness program based on your own biology.

Through the myDNA Pro Program, you can also identify your predisposition to the “three highs” of health risks—type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol—using your DNA. However, having genes related to these illnesses does not mean that you are sick or that you cannot escape these conditions. By knowing your DNA, you can create an action plan to mitigate the development of these illnesses.

Author your future with myDNA Pro

Pru Life UK’s myDNA Pro Bundle will give you detailed knowledge about your body, so that you can make the right choices when it comes to your future. The package combines financial protection through Pru Life UK’s insuravest or investment-linked life insurance solutions with myDNA Pro Program, a health and wellness program that provides comprehensive genetic testing to assess your medical risks and opportunities. It will also guide you towards having a healthy lifestyle through scientific DNA-based fitness and wellness recommendations, as well as offer a better alternative to trendy programs or superstitious beliefs.

Legend has it that coastal town Bristol Cove on the Pacific Northwest was once home to mermaids. Folklore proves more than fiction when a mysterious young woman who calls herself Ryn (Eline Powell) suddenly appears one night. The strange visitor soon catches the interests of local marine biologist Ben Pownell (Alex Roe). Together, along with Ben’s fellow marine biologist Maddie Bishop (Fola Evans-Akingbola), deep-sea fisherman Xander McClure (Ian Verdun), town eccentric and folklore expert Helen Hawkins (Rena Owen), and another mysterious woman who calls herself Donna (Sibongile Mlambo) unravel tensions between the denizens of land and sea as predatory mermaids seek to claim their birthright. Catch the two-hour special premiere of Siren on Monday, 4 June, at 9:45 P.M. (8:45 P.M. JKT/BKK) first and exclusive on Blue Ant Entertainment.

Siren has reached over 4 million views since its premiere in the U.S. alone, and has been well received by audience and critics alike. American digital media and entertainment company for women, Refinery29, describes Siren as “gripping and original,” while one of Florida’s largest newspapers, Tampa Bay Times, says that the show is “worth the deep dive in.” Cinemablend, the Internet’s go-to source of entertainment news, praises Powell as “a standout as Ryn,” and television news source website TV Fanatic says that “Siren is what television has been missing.”
