Medical School Researcher’s New Book Proposes a Science-Based Diet for Better Health, Longer Life
Wake Forest University School of Medicine biochemist and nutrition researcher Floyd H. "Ski" Chilton, Ph.D., is author of The Gene Smart ™ diet, published in this month, in which numerous measures to mitigate the adverse effects of chronic inflammation and can lead to accelerated aging.
In this science-based and referenced "diet" book, Chilton describes how the body of the "stress reaction to adapt," the May helped our hunter-gatherer ancestors live, was turned off and we inflammatory response of the immune system is activated the day of the modern diet and lifestyle, to potentially damage our bodies and our quality of life. Chilton, professor of physiology and pharmacology at the School of Medicine, the writing or co-author of more than 115 scientific articles and chapters of books and two books on the inflammation, carries out its own research and more than three dozens of scientific studies with other gene in the Diet Smart. Chilton wrote that the basic research clearly shows that "the changes in our diet resulted in the opposite reaction to stress, such as adaptive for our body. Each of the factors for the abolition of this mechanism is a serious threat to our health. Taken together, they confront us that I am at a "perfect storm" of factors that work in synergy, in order for most of us overweight and hopelessly ill. " In an interview, Chilton, said: "These data (the book) is vital for people to understand. We are not talking about the quest for fitness with a bikini on the beach. We talk about wellness, prevention and longer use life active. "As we hear the debate in Washington on reforming the health care system, there was much about the prevention and improving health in general. The elucidation of the biological processes, such as in this book is an essential prerequisite for better health." Chilton book is based on the principle that "the expression" to the facility from 25,000 to 30,000 genes functional - in the form of proteins, most of the functions of the organism - the body regulates the response to stress and the immune system. Because of the feast and famine lifestyles of our forefathers, Chilton describes the human body is an elegant system, capable of taking large amounts of excess calories and store fat, which can be transformed into energy during welding times. Fat also an immune response triggered by our ancestors, help in the fight against infection and disease. Today, however, the weld for most Americans are practically non-existent, and food with the rampant white sugar, high fructose syrup from corn and saturated fats and omega-6, Chilton says contribute to a growing epidemic of obesity and malnutrition in developed countries like the United States Obesity disease, he says, causes the immune system in overdrive at once, the chronic inflammation. "Inflammation," Chilton writes "... is a terrible factor in our tests, including heart disease, asthma, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders and skin as well as certain types of cancer. In fact, scientists estimate that even this extensive laundry service is the tip of the iceberg ". In relation to aging, Chilton wrote: "Most of what we as biomarkers of aging are really the biomarkers of inflammation - or vice versa. "This also explains why the inflammatory diseases of aging - diabetes, obesity, heart disease, arthritis, cancer - not just the population. ... In fact, one of the most worrying trends in the epidemiology of the infection, these diseases are more and earlier in the young and the young. " Twenty-first century, nutrition, he says, not only in obesity and its inflammatory response, can exclude foods, nutrients and "organic" could use the positive effect of the stress response to the adaptation, which our ancestors so. Calorie restriction (CR) is a factor, the environment is thought to stress the reaction of the adjustment. CR has been shown to prolong the life of animals in research and observation of the people has improved over the whole body inflammation and damage to DNA. Severe energy restriction is unrealistic and potentially dangerous, Chilton, but it is not necessary to focus on the advantages of the adaptive response to stress. The latest scientific findings, he says that the diet closely - with a minimum calorie reduction - can mimic many aspects of the CR in the regulation of genes, the response to the stress of the adjustment is positive, that our body so desperately needs. " To achieve this, Gene Smart Diet emphasizes the addition of fibers, the balance of fatty acids Omega fats (like fish) and the increase in certain families polyphenols, as in many fruit and vegetable merchant, and also in some "processed" foods, such as Red wine and chocolate. The book is in the list of foods and a menu of 35-day plan, and he recommends that "the right types of exercises. (Not with the publication of the book, Chilton a document of this month in the Journal of Biological Chemistry has shown that for the first time in humans that the change in the quantity of certain types of polyunsaturated fatty acids [PUFA] in the diet in a similar way to our understanding of hunting and gathering systems significantly reduced the expression of genes that pass the evaluation of allergies and auto-immunity). Search Chilton own, in 65 participants in a prototype of the smart genes are just food for publication in the Official Journal of the prevention of chronic diseases, peer review, research in the field of public health practice and the newspaper from the Centers for Disease Control.
