What is a personal nutrition program?
-The special diet program is a program that takes into account the genetic (genes) and epigenetic (genes are “asleep” or “awake”) characteristics and provides a separate and personalized healthy diet for all. In this method of nutrition, the person continues to receive the foods that he or she needs, and he or she stays away from the foods that are harmful to him or her. Unlike other nutritional programs, this program is not temporary but it is a life-long practice.
The most important genetic feature in the personal nutrition program is the blood group. What is the importance of blood group in a personal healthy diet?
According to the blood group began to be applied by Dr. James D’adamo in 1980 and later his son, Dr. Peter J. It is an approach developed by D’adamo with scientific basis.
The molecules that determine our blood group are called “antigen” (shortened version of the words antibody generation in English). Some proteins found in foods that we consume, the blood cells on the blood cells that adhere to these antigens, causing the blood cells to collapse, in this way the immune system is weakened. For each blood group, the proteins that cause this are different. For example, a protein in lentils B, AB, and 0 Group A is friendly to the group A while damaging those who carry the blood. In contrast, tomato A and B for 0 and EU is more inconvenient. A comprehensive classification of the effects of these proteins on blood groups, called lectin, found in foods, was done at the end of the 1940s (William Clöuser Boyd).)
What other differences does the blood group make?
The blood group also acts in digestion. According to studies, stomach acid secretion is the highest Group 0, then B and AB respectively. The Group A has the lowest stomach acid level. For this reason, a’s are very difficult to digest red meat, 0 group can easily digest red meat. In addition, lactose in milk is broken into galactose during digestion, while galactose is Group B antigens, which is a molecule that 0 and A are considered “enemies”. B and ABS provide maximum benefit from dairy products for the same reason.
What are epigenetic features?
Epigenetics is an increasingly important issue in recent years. In short, epigenetics refers to the environmental effects of which genes are active and which are passive (nutrition, exposure to toxins, exercise, etc.). A “coding” that can be called “genes active or passive” is, the embryonic period, the baby through the mother on the future development and accordingly detect the signals how in a world emerges. It has been proven that the epigenetic codes acquired during the embryonal period are hereditary and can be passed on to the next generation, or even to the subsequent generation. So we maintain the advantages and disadvantages of our mother and grandmother’s nutrition and other environmental influences during pregnancy, and we also carry the code of our father’s grandfather.
What is the link between our epigenetic properties and nutrition?
Epigenetic features are reflected in the physical characteristics of the person. For example, fingerprints are determined according to epigenetic properties. Even the identical twin eggs, genetically identical twins, have different fingerprints. Various biometric measurements (body leg ratio, ring finger index lengths, thigh bone tibia ratios, etc.) have the characteristics that the person has from an epigenetic perspective. Proper regulation of nutritional and environmental effects according to these characteristics, prevention of negative epigenetic effects, and support of positive effects. In short, it is possible to restore negative epigenetic effects by eating, healthy exercise, and avoiding toxins that are appropriate to our genes and codes, so that a harmful gene can be “put to sleep,” and a beneficial gene can be activated. To give a simple example, for example, when the cancer cell is formed, its first job is to put the tumor suppression gene and the natural death gene of the cell into sleep, thus making it immortal and multiplying infinitely to bring the body to death. In contrast, green tea stimulates these two genes to suppress and kill the cancer cell. Therefore, green tea is a powerful anti-cancer besides its anti-oxidant properties.”
