CONTROL YOUR GENES

CONTROL YOUR GENES: LIVE LONGER & BETTER

Some genetic variations predispose some of us to specific diseases. Our family history is a good indicator of that possible predisposition, but not always.

For instance, if a relative died from breast cancer, it doesn’t always mean that you carry the mutations associated with breast cancer. What if we do?

Get a DNA test!

DNA test helps identify those possible mutations.

Your physicians can advise you and help you understand your results. Many companies offer genetic testing.

Why does that matter? Prevention is key.

DNA testing is a new level of prevention. If you know that you carry a mutation, you will follow a diet to help to control your genes.

Here are three keys to determining what guidelines to follow.

  • Genetic results
  • Family history
  • regular screenings

YOUR COLON MATTERS

Are you constipated?

Do you eat processed foods often?

Do you eat whole foods?

One lifestyle change is to eat more fibers to help with the transit. Fresh apples with skin, fresh fruits, whole grains are better than pure starch and canned or peels fruits.

HOW ABOUT LIVING LONGER?

WEIGHT CONTROL is also critical: SARCOPENIA loses muscle and weight, leading to falling, fragile bones, and aging.

Conversely, OBESITY, notably belly fat, is harmful to our metabolism.

FIBERS- PROTEINS- VITAMINS & MINERALS
