Food not only determine our weight and ideal settings, but also health, encoded in the genes. We will tell you about which products form health how to minimize the risk of dangerous diseases and what is the "nutrigenetics".
Secret CODE
The idea of medical scientific research project "human Genome" hung in the air since 1984, but realize it was only in 1990 under the auspices of the National Institute of Health, USA, and that was the starting point of the science, as nutrigenetics. A full understanding of how food and nutrition affect the DNA of the people, the scientists received in 2003, deciphering the structure of more than 50 thousand genes.
As it turned out, nature has taken care of people, making so that DNA information is encoded in the genome twice. Thus, if a person has inherited a mutated gene, the second gene, he will be completely healthy. How things will behave "rakoviny" gene depends to some extent on the media. The patient gene can continue to mutate, thereby violating the function healthy, or, on the contrary, with the help of medical advice you can "Wake" the healthy gene.
Making DNA diagnosis (smear mucous, blood or saliva), you can get a rough picture about gene mutations, their causes and diseases caused by the awakening of life "bad" gene. Don't worry, optimizing nutrition and lifestyle can not only keep you healthy, but also to improve it.
"Of course, the correct diet will not only help to lose weight, but also to prolong life," says nutritionist Natalia Andreeva.
Any of the products that we eat has an effect on the corresponding gene. Influencing certain trace elements on genes, we can shut off dangerous or damaged genes and make them work well. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to what we eat. "Natural medicines", are able to prolong our lives, we have at our fingertips" - says Natalia.

How substances included in our daily diet affect our health and longevity?
Many people know that carrots are beneficial for eyesight, but not all know that beta-carotene (yellow-orange pigment) is a powerful antioxidant, as catechins contained in tea. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG has anti-cancer effect on genes that are "at risk." Drinking about 5 cups of quality green tea, you can get the required daily dose of antioxidants.
Fans of the "red" products can also boast of an "investment" in their health. Lycopene, which gives such a bright and intense color of vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of cancer of the digestive tract and prostate gland and some cardiovascular diseases.
Another miracle-ingredient - resveratrol, found in the skins and seeds of red and black grapes. So stick with grape "diet" for the prevention of cancer and heart disease, as well as for the overall "improvement". Important! If you decide to change your diet, consult your doctor or nutritionist.
Our body needs selenium is a powerful antidepressant. Add in his autumn-winter menu 100 gr. marine fish and steamed broccoli. Selenium can rightly be called "magic" trace element that can stop the growth of malignant tumors, to prevent breast disease, and prolong youthfulness and longevity.
Folic acid is not synthesized in our body, therefore, to replenish stocks of trace element necessary independently using white meat and greens. Poly affects the genes responsible for blood, immune system and metabolism.
The trace harmony - glutamine improves metabolic processes in the body and strengthens the immune system during exercise. Dairy products, cabbage and beans are a natural source of glutamic acid.
Arginine, cysteine and Gazin regulate the level of insulin in the blood, regeneration of body cells, serotonin production and stimulation of immunity. In addition to the above mentioned trace elements protects our body from fatigue.
Interesting! Arginine is responsible for the sexually active life of both sexes. Men trace element affects erection and production of sperm, and women increases sexual "appetite"/libido by increasing blood circulation in the genital area.
Remember, "We are what we eat"
