Change Your Genes

Relaxing with Rob

Our genetic structure is fixed, but we can influence how genes express themselves, and thus improve our health.
To slow (and in some cases reverse) cellular aging:

1. Eat healthfully.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. If you drink, do so in moderation.
4. Quit tobacco products.
5. Reduce stress.

Here’s the independent nutrition site I mention: https://nutritionfacts.org

This video summarizes research on the power of a plant-based diet (specifically in reducing saturated fat intake) to slow cellular aging.

This video on stress management research highlights well-designed studies, including one showing that just 12 minutes of daily meditation for eight weeks can lengthen your telomeres—helping reverse cellular aging.
