ABSTRACT

The primary purpose of altering our diet as authors age is essentially an attempt to activate more of our genetic potential by positively influencing the author's gene expression with the food they eat. This means that unhealthy eating habits result in poor gene activation and “turn on” the genes responsible for accelerated aging and disease. At present, the only scientifically documented means of slowing aging is through dietary changes and more specifically caloric restriction. The essential component of this approach is decreasing glucose utilization at the cellular level. The good news is that changing our diet can be as easy as upgrading our computer software. Acidification of cellular fluids results in premature aging at the molecular, genetic and tissue levels. An increased incidence of viral, bacterial and even cancerous growths occurs when the biological terrain becomes overactivated.
