THE GENETIC FACTOR<br />
Disease or conditions inheritance,<br />
which is what you call genetic,<br />
is not the principle predisposing<br />
factor for the development of<br />
chronic conditions such as weight<br />
gain, hypertension, diabetes, heart<br />
disease and stroke.<br />
Even if your genes predispose you<br />
toward easy weight gain, lifestyle<br />
and good nutrition can modify and<br />
decrease your chance of getting<br />
fat. As a matter of fact the older<br />
you get, the less influence your<br />
genes will have on your good<br />
health. Environmental factors are<br />
more influential to your weight<br />
gain and health. Even if you have<br />
a strong possibility to easily gain<br />
weight, you may not gain weight.<br />
Eating the right food through the<br />
Mediterranean Diet, may redirect<br />
your genes.<br />
Contrary to the common belief<br />
www.medimeals.com<br />
that genes are the only predictors<br />
of your weight and other health<br />
problems, there is a lot you can<br />
do to prevent what we call, “the<br />
luck of the draw.” Your genotype<br />
map or your genes map is a Xerox<br />
copy of the type of diseases or<br />
conditions your body could develop<br />
under unfavorable conditions.<br />
Your nutrition, the food you eat<br />
and your lifestyle have a major<br />
impact over the way your genes<br />
can be oriented. In other words,<br />
your weight is in your hands. For<br />
example, you are the only one who<br />
can make the right food choices,<br />
helping you to prevent becoming<br />
an overweight, diabetic or cardiac<br />
patient.<br />
Genes do not specifically code for<br />
a condition, but they may influence<br />
your health status by weakening<br />
or strengthening your body’s<br />
immune system. Macro and micro<br />
nutrients and antioxidants which<br />
are part of the food you eat have<br />
a specific influence on your gene<br />
expression. These food constituents<br />
break down into chemicals which<br />
help to detoxify the body from<br />
substances susceptible to turn on<br />
disease processes in your body. In<br />
the specific case of weight control,<br />
these substances coming from food<br />
components have a stimulating or<br />
suppressing effect on your appetite.<br />
When there is an imbalance<br />
between stimulating and<br />
suppressing messengers,<br />
unfavorable conditions happen.<br />
Good foods lower disease<br />
signals sent to your genes through<br />
bioactive components. Food has<br />
the intelligence to orchestrate<br />
chemical reactions in the natural<br />
way with more specificity and<br />
precision than any drug can do!<br />
