Your body is a complicated biochemical, hormonal soup controlled mostly by what you eat. Our gene expression, our hormones, our immune system, our gut flora, our brain chemistry, our muscle mass, our metabolism and more are all changed with every single bite of food. Food is the code that programs your biology. You can literally upgrade or downgrade your biological software with every bite you take. Food is information that can beneficially modulate thousands of genes and enhance the function of dozen of hormones and regulate tens of thousands of protein networks and can prevent, cure and even reverse most chronic disease. And it works faster, better and is cheaper than any other drug. The food industry likes to trick us into thinking that eating healthy is expensive, but this is far from the truth. Relying on inexpensive, overly processed food is tempting, given our demanding lifestyles and schedules, but the cost to our health is quite large. Feasting on the sodium, fat and sugar bombs disguised as food can lead to serious diseases that cost hundreds of dollars in doctor’s visits and prescription drugs. My new book, "Food: What the Heck Should I Eat" contains easy to understand scientific information about what to eat and avoid, and my hope is that it empowers you to make the best food choices to lose weight, reduce disease, positively impact the environment, and feel better, while knowing you are serving the healthiest foods for you and your loved ones.
