Food and Your Genetics |  |
| How does what you eat affect your genes and health? |
Monday, June 24, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
It’s fun to think of eating as an exciting taste adventure, and of course what we eat also supplies the nutrients essential to our well-being and the calories that keep us going. But at a deeper level, foods contain vast amounts of information in a language our genes understand – and obey. Incredible as it seems, what we put on our plates actually contributes to, or modifies, the functioning of our DNA.
You’ll be amazed to discover how foods can influence dramatic changes – helping to cause, heal, or prevent a disease by turning specific genes on or off. Dr. Bongiorno will explain clearly and simply how genes and food work together. Join him to learn how we can help our genes make great decisions on our behalf, and how to make truly informed choices about eating for health.
