Wow. You should own/author a wellness blog!
Why do I have to own or author a wellness blog when I can comment on things here under pertinent threads others make?
I was asked by someone who has a site to be partners and discuss things, but she was parroting a lot of stuff that had been misapplied by the people
making health stuff up....she is a friends of our family so I did not want to be constantly correcting her posts. She is a nutritionist who worked
for the health department at one time, and I just did not want to be correcting her all the time. Foods contain multiple chemistries, evaluating the
good and bad is time consuming, and what is good for one person is bad for another. Our epigenetics controls our metabolism which means some people
cannot properly detox some foods while others can. The amount of enzymes and different forms of an enzymes vary from person to person. There is also
companion foods that people have to eat together and that also varies depending on where that person came from and what their ancestors ate...again
that is epigenetic alterations created by our ancestors environment.
Then you mix two different genetic pools, like a Finn marrying a Hispanic, and the food the kid needs to be healthy is different than what each
parent needs to eat to be healthy....I cannot even figure out my grandkids, my daughter married a person from Guatamala originally, he is half spanish
and half guatamalan. He needs either lots of green veggies containing nicotinic acid or hot sauce on his foods. But their kids have the
finn/hispanic mix, they need hot sauce for some metabolic needs but also they cannot eat much because it causes other metabolic problems. I have
tried to research the alterations, I can't test on myself because they are different. So it is hard to figure out how to fix their metabolic issues.
That is just one of the differences between the cultures, there are many of these epigenetic mixes that are present, but that niacin thing is one of
the major issues for my grandkids. My second oldest grandaughter has less of a problematic mix, she loves salads and is mostly healthy, her inherited
gene snps match fairly well with her fathers in the niacin metabolic pathways. She chooses green veggies rich in nicotinic acid over the hot sauce
though, but that would also work well for her. I had all their ancestry done to get their data so I could try to learn how to evaluate it.
Junk food and sugar does not go well with my grandkids genetics, but my daughter believes it is all right for her, so it is alright for her kids. The
result is two of them had prediabetis and fatty liver at a young age. She changed to a healthier diet and the younger boy got lots of energy and was
out doing stuff and ran to the store with his bike and hit a pot hole and went over the handlebars, he broke one bone in his forearm. So since the
good diet made him more active, she switched back to junk food so he would not have the energy to go out and get hurt. At that point before that his
sugar and fatty liver was improving in the blood tests, but after going back on junk food, he has been on diabetes drugs twice and they wanted to give
him some meds for the fatty liver again. but he does not have any energy anymore so he has not broken anything anymore. My oldest daughter doesn't
understand that the damage can be irreversible and at that point, I cannot help her anymore, no matter how much she believes I can.
Got carried away again, I will not be offended if you just read the first line, the rest of my stuff has to do with believing that decisions you made
years ago can effect things years later. a little junk food once a week is not going to harm most people, but if you eat some every day it can cause
problems.
