Educate yourself on the latest about Nutrigenomics and Gene Expressions with this informative book by Perricone.
Why Bother? Well, Perricone shares the secrets on how to stay healthy and youthful by watching the type of foods and calories you ingest. Backed by scientific evidence and research, Perricone teaches us that we can influence the rate of aging by ingesting the right foods that can have a positive effect on gene expressions that govern the way we look and feel.
While a lot of the book is devoted to scientific data sufficient enough to convince the skeptics, you can tune quickly to the beneficials due to the well organised chapters of the book. Read about how powerful blueberries are for your diet and of course Perricone strongly recopmmends wild salmon as a power food for you.
There is also a chapter on improving your libido and some understanding on how cell chemistry influences it for the frisky ones among our readers.
Exercise is also an important factor, and Perricone provide Yoga based examples of good exercises.
Last, he provides a series of Recipes based on his recommended foods.
I would recommend this book as it provides a quick guide to some latest thinking in Genes and the effect of Nutrition influencing gene expressions that can help us stay younger. While there is a lot of scientific data to wade through, the well organised chapters allow us to focus our reading onto topics of interest.
