THE NEW SCIENCE OF NUTRIGENOMICS
PROMISES A WAY TO FIGHT BACK
Science is coming to a startling realintion. The bulk Of our rru*t lethal diseases have a
common underlying caur: persistent inflammation. Inflammation is an overactive
reaction of natural immune system function that results in cell and tissue
destruction. 'lhis Frsistent inflammation is triggered by our industrial lifestyles,
including exposure to chemicals, synthetic food ingredients, pollution and pr«xessed
fixsds. "Regarchers are linking inflammation to an ever-wider array Of chronic
illnesses, • reports Newsweek's Anne Underwood. "Suddenly medical puzzles seem to
fitting together, such as why hypertension puts patients at increased risk of
Alzheimer's, or why rheumatoid-arthritis have higher rates of sudden cardiac
death. •lhe•/re all connected on some fiandamental level."
But inflammation, and the risks Of chronic diseaES it brings, can be managed.
Lifestyle and nutritional change is part Of the answer. But the other part lies With
groundbreaking information from the newest field Of science — nutrigenomics.
N utrigenomics is the science Of how genes interact With nutrients. It is the study Of
how DNA and the genetic code a person's need for certain nutrients to help
maintain optimal health throughout life.
7be Optimal Health Revolution combines leading-edge science — including nearly 9CX)
scientific references —with an easy-to-read, conversational writing style that makes
this critical information accessible to eve" reader. Relevant to both the research and
medical doctor interested in the latest sciehce and the casual reader looking to
improve his or her Well-being, The Optimal Health Revolution makes a critical
