Feed Your Genes Right: Eat to Turn Off Disease-Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging

by Jack Challem

In Feed Your Genes Right , renowned nutrition expert Jack Challem translates the hugely exciting science of nutrigenomics--which explores the link between nutrition and our own DNA--into practical eating plans and nutritional supplement recommendations for maximizing one's genetic inheritance, slowing the aging process, and reducing the chances of disease. After describing how food and nutrients can help repair flawed or damaged genes, Challem offers specific plans--complete with delicious carb-smart recipes--that target two dozen common or inherited diseases and conditions, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, fatigue, gluten intolerance, heart disease, and obesity.

[Carter Clatterbuck · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read for Nutritional Biochemistry. Not a fan of the blanket supplement advice given, or emphasis on a high meat/low carb diet for disease control, which recent research doesn't support. Good bones but with so many years since publication, the science needs to be updated.

Genes do not act by themselves in determining our health condition and longevity. Rather, they require essential nutrients to function. If you eat the right foods, your genes will know how to manage all body body systems. If you eat bad foods, you will damage your DNA, confuse your body and age faster.

So far exactly what I wanted to read about... what foods you need to put in your body that are necessary for DNA replication but aren't always produced in your body
