Description
Written by leading nutrigenomics expert, Ruth DeBusk, this book covers the exciting, emerging science of nutrigenomics, how genes can contribute to chronic disease, and how foods or nutrients can trigger or surpress gene expression. It will change the way we think about nutrition and how it maintains or improves one's health. Easy to read.
Course Objectives
OBJECTIVES for SELF-STUDY COURSE
Upon successful completion of this self-study course, the users will be able to:
1. Discuss the ways that food and lifestyle choices influence gene expression in chronic disease.
2. Identify four negative results of this influence.
3. Better assess the benefits of a nutrient-dense diet on the health of individuals and on suppressing disease processes.
4. Better determine appropriate intervention to protect Americans from poor health due to genetic influences created by food and lifestyle choices.
