An international team of scientists led by researchers at McMaster and McGill universities in Canada have found that consuming generous amounts of especially leafy greens modified a gene designated 9p21, the strongest marker for heart disease!
In one of the largest gene-diet interaction studies ever conducted related to heart disease, the researchers analyzed more than 27,000 individuals from 5 ethnicities: Latin American, European, Chinese, South Asian and Arab, and compared to their diet and gene expression. They discovered that man and women with high-risk genotype who consumed the most raw leafy greens had similar risk (low insignificant) to those individuals carrying the low-risk genotype!
STOP choosing to be a victim and blaming your genes for your health! You just need to know your genotype so you can prevent what will trigger the EXPRESSION of your vulnerabilities!
Only if you engage in behaviors that go against your genotype do they express themselves!
And now there is more clear-cut proof of how we can actually alter our genes!
But you still need to know your type, otherwise you won't know what will trigger it! No diet is right for all!
The Nutrition Doctor will end of August 2012 be launching an online health provider service including analysis of blood labs, genetic testing and a brain chemistry assessment here.
