In this weight and appearance obsessed culture of ours we tend to view food in terms of calories or energy.
Food is so much more than that. It contains information that talks to our genes, affecting how they work in each and every moment, turning them on and turning them off.
Food is the the most expeditious and powerful medicine we can take to change our lives.
The term used to describe this is “nutrigenomics.”
One of the best explanations I’ve heard and one that may be useful to all of you is this:
“Think of your genes as the software that runs everything in your body. Just like your computer software, it only does what you instruct it to do with the stroke of your keyboard.
The foods you eat are the keystrokes that send messages to your genes telling them what to do–creating health or disease.
Imagine what messages you are sending with a double cheeseburger, large fries and a forty-eight-ounce cola. Consider what messages you might send instead with deep red wild salmon, braised greens and brown rice.
the science of nutrigenomics allows us to personalize medicine–not everyone with the same problems needs the same prescription. Your individual genetic makeup determines what you need to be optimally healthy.”
We have around thirty thousand genes, but we have more than three million variations in these genes. These variations are what make us unique and what makes our individual needs unique as well. What is needed for me will be slightly different than what is needed for you.
Tomorrow we will explore together how we can determine those needs using a simple model.
Until then…

Hi Anthony,
Very cool post! I wonder if people actually considered the messages they send to their body with the food they put in their mouth whether we would have a different result?

I never heard the term “nutrigenomics” before so I googled it and got 521,000 hits. Hmmmm, I can’t believe I haven’t heard aboutt his before.
The principle is sound. Our biochemistry controls our physical and mental state. I am really looking forward to hearing more about this.

Absolutely true! There are nutritional basics that everyone needs. Then there are nutritional specifics that vary based upon ones genes. I look forward to your further writings on this.

Anthony,
Your post reminds me of the signature that each food carry with them.
e.g. Almond is good for heart, walnut good for brain, apple good for the body (5 branches of the human body).
