Set your genes for good health....
Today's post: Tuesday, 6-17-2008
It’s been all over the health news the past two days that Dr Dean Ornish did some research that showed that eating right, exercising, & stress relief in combination literally switched on genes that promoted good health & switched OFF genes that tended to produce bad health.
In particular, the group he worked with & studied ate a version of the DASH diet with abundant vegetables & fruit and limited the amount of grain fed fatty meats and junk foods the people in the group ate. They also exercised regularly & did stress relief activities.
The heredity in this group was unchanged but the health effects were dramatically upgraded.
And, the slow growing prostate cancers were in a lot better shape in this group than in the control group.
Other health writers have been writing over the past year about similar studies. And, taking resveratrol has been show to have similar effects, slowing aging and helping to fight obesity & obesity caused diseases. In particular, it seems to slow the aging of the heart & helps to prevent or possibly get rid of cancer.
We’ve posted about many of these methods to protect & improve your health. But it’s really interesting to find that these methods also reset your genetic switches for good health.
Dr Ornish’s study also showed that these changes happened in 3 months or less to people who began these good health measures.
