Let’s delve into the world of nutrigenomics. It’s the science of how the food you eat influences your genes and hormones. Discover the profound impact of your diet on your body’s biochemistry and how personalized nutrition could change the way we eat.
Scientists have discovered a gene that plays a role in muscle growth and strength gains. Find out more about this gene and how the genes you inherit affect how strong you are and how easy it is for you to build muscle strength and size.
There are lots of reasons to eat healthy – for more stamina, a trimmer waistline, and better mental health. But there’s another reason. What you eat “talks” to your genes. Here’s why that’s important.
You might think bad genetics are making it hard to lose weight. Although lifestyle habits are more important than your genes for weight control, there are genes that can affect how easy it is to lose weight. Here’s what you should know.
Genes play a role in whether you develop certain health problems, but they aren’t the full story. A healthy lifestyle matters too. In fact, there’s a branch of science that focuses on gene expression in response to lifestyle. Can you reprogram the genes you inherited through lifestyle?
Genetic testing for polymorphisms that impact disease risk are growing in popularity, but how much of disease risk is determined by genetics? A new study suggests that genes only determine a small percentage of disease risk. Here’s why.
Exercise can change your body composition, but even more surprising is the impact it has on the way your genes are expressed. In fact, a new study shows that even one exercise session can change how your genes are expressed. How’s that for immediate gratification?
Genes are something you inherit from your parents but are you bound by your genetics? Even more compelling, can the diet that you eat influence your gene expression? Find out.

Do you have “thrifty genes?” Some experts believe these genes make it harder to lose weight and avoid weight-related health problems like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Find out what they are and what role they may play in weight loss.
Is your diet slowing down the aging process or causing you to age faster? What you eat matters when it comes to cellular health and aging. This article discusses four dietary habits that can age you prematurely and how to avoid them.
Have you ever wondered why some people can eat an unhealthy diet and live to be 100 while another person eats a similar diet and gets heart disease in the fifties? It all comes down to genetics and gene expression. A relatively new field called nutrigenomics, that studies issues like this, is growing rapidly. Find out more about nutrigenomics and “personalized nutrition.”
