I see the power of nutrition everyday in my practice, but in our modern world of technology and convenience, it is not always easy to relay to the masses. I stumbled across this inspiring book, Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food, and I want to share a few thoughts with you.
This book is written by a Medical Doctor who studied epigenetics before attending medical school. Epigenetics is the study of all the factors that influence our genes- everything from what we eat to the air we breathe and the thoughts we think.
Although I do not use the term epigenetics, it is exactly my point during the cleanse and during individual consults- we have the power to change our cells. We have the power to be as healthy and vibrant as we choose to be- as long as we take control of what we put into our bodies, what we are exposed to, our stress levels, etc. Every time we eat the right foods, take a yoga class or remove a potential toxin from our home environment, we are changing our genes.
Sit with this paragraph from Deep Nutrition, " By simply replenishing your body with the nourishment that facilitates optimal gene expression, it's possible to eliminate genetic malfunction and, with it, pretty much all known disease. No matter what kind of genes you were born with, I know eating right can help reprogram them, immunizing you against cancer, premature aging and dementia, enabling you to control your metabolism, your moods, your weight- and much, much more. And if you start planning early enough, and your genetic momentum is strong enough, you can give your children a shot at reaching for the stars!"
This is Powerful! Nutrition based medicine is not about simply losing a few pounds, it is about changing your genetic make-up so you can experience Vibrant Health! You Are in Control!
