The right nutrition and lifestyle choices during all stages of life can have a profound influence on your good health. When it comes to developing healthy habits, “The sooner the better — but it’s never too late!” Continue reading “Your Epigenetic Life”
Who you are is written in both pen and pencil. Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can. That’s epigenetics. Continue reading “The Reliv LunaRich Opportunity”
The field of epigenetics is new and growing, but you don’t have to be a scientist to understand the basics. Here are some simple analogies to explain how epigenetics works on the cellular level.
Who you are is written in both pen and pencil. Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can. That’s epigenetics.
The epigenome acts like a dimmer for lights, controlling which genes are used, when they are used and how much they are used.
Your genome is like computer hardware, the actual components that perform specific functions. Your epigenome is like software, the programs that tell the hardware which functions to perform.
“No other company is advancing the field of epigenetics like Reliv. We are in the middle of a revolution in nutrition and we are all witnesses.”
– Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the Center of Excellence in Nutrition Genomics at UC Davis
Every cell in your body, from your brain to your toenails, contains the same DNA, or genome. So what makes different cells perform different functions? Continue reading “Nutrition at a Higher Level”
The immune system defends your body against bacteria, viruses and other harmful invaders. At full strength, it is an efficient protector against infection and illness. But like all aspects of your health, it takes healthy lifestyle choices to keep your immune system in top shape. Three vital areas in protecting and bolstering immunity are nutrition, exercise and stress reduction. Continue reading “3 Steps to Building Immunity”
We sat down with Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the scientist behind Reliv’s LunaRich® soy powder, to discuss how the lunasin soy peptide works at the epigenetic level to promote optimal health. Continue reading “Beyond the Genome: How lunasin works to promote optimal health”
Reliv has created a cool new infographic illustrating how lunasin works at the cellular level to help the epigenome perform optimally. Click here to download as a PDF.
The symptoms of high blood sugar can cause very serious long-term damage to your body — even if you feel fine. Continue reading “Science and Health Today: Nutrition and Metabolic Syndrome”
Remember high school anatomy class, where you learned that DNA and cells make up our bodies? You may not have learned about the epigenome back then, but scientists have been studying it for decades.
