First line

Almost every week scientists announce the discovery of new genes that may influence our long-term risk of disease.

From the jacket flap

Today's medical researchers are exploring the far-reaching roles genes play in determining your risk for disease. Simply put, when your genes do their job properly, you enjoy good health; when they don't function properly, you are at greater risk for heart disease, cancer, and other common diseases. Now, in the groundbreaking Feed Your Genes Right, renowned nutrition expert Jack Challem has taken the latest findings of the emerging science of nutrigenomics--which explores the link between nutrition and our own genes, our own DNA--and translated them into practical eating plans and nutritional supplement recommendations to help you maximize your genetic inheritance, slow the aging process, and avoid diseases to which you may be genetically predisposed. Because you control the nutrients you consume, you can literally feed your genes right and prevent DNA damage while also losing weight, normalizing your blood sugar and insulin levels, and reducing inflammation.

In his reader-friendly and easy-to-understand style, Challem explains how nutrition affects your genes and your risk of disease, regardless of whether you have inherited "good" or "bad" genes. He then gives you a breakthrough nutritional program designed to enhance your DNA function and minimize your risk of common diseases and conditions ranging from arthritis, hypertension, Syndrome X and Alzheimer's to diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and many types of cancer. In Feed Your Genes Right, you'll discover: what you should and should not eatthe disconnects between ancient genes and modern foodshow the right nutrients can repair flawed or damaged genesthe specific vitamins and supplements needed for healthy geneshow to reduce the effects of stress on your genesnutritional recommendations for reducing genetic damage that occurs in aging, heart disease, certain inherited diseases, and many other conditions

Complete with easy-to-follow meal plans, delicious low-carb recipes, and guidelines for eating out, Feed Your Genes Right is the only book that lets you start improving your DNA and your health right away--setting the stage for an active, healthy, and long life.
