Nutrigenomics:
the science of individualized nutrition*
The Blood Type
Diet®
Whenever you eat, a chemical reaction occurs between your blood and
the foods you eat or the
supplements and
herbs you take.
This explains why some foods that may be
harmful to the cells of one blood type may be beneficial to the cells
of another.
Any harmful (beneficial) effect on the
cellular level, however, has a negative (positive) effect on your
immune system and the corresponding consequences for your health and
wellbeing in the short- as well as long term.
*
Nutrigenomics is found to also be spelled in the following ways:
nutrigenomic, nutrigenomica, nutrigenomika.
Other
factors
There are,
however, other factors apart from the blood type that need to be taken
into account
when it comes to determining which foods,
herbs,
supplements, exercise and
stress management techniques will give you the results you want:
·
good health,
·
ideal weight,
·
well-proportioned body,
·
optimal Body Mass Index,
·
desired level of fitness.
The genes that you have inherited and the environment that you have
been exposed to (e.g. environmental pollution, availability of
resources) play a vital role in these processes.
The information about your natural predisposition towards health or
disease, and consequently the level of your physical and emotional
wellbeing as well as your lifespan, is coded in your body shape, blood
type, fingerprints, taste buds, teeth, the length of your fingers and
the proportions of your body.
All these characteristics, along with the
rest of our genetic potential, are inherited.
Prevention is better than a cure
You can change your genetic destiny
by changing the way your genes are
expressed,
much in the same way you can make music
louder by turning up the volume by pressing the volume control button.
The science of individuality exposes those
genetic traits that can be naturally awakened or suppressed, often
through the foods we eat.
Being attuned to your particular, unique
physiology - the gene mix you have inherited from your ancestors -
means:
·
you can significantly reduce your health risks,
·
optimise your weight,
·
maximise your physical and intellectual performance,
·
increase your overall quality of life and
·
lengthen your life span.
