Don’t need to dictate your life? Your genes
Dean Ornish shares new research that shows how adopting healthy lifestyle habits can affect a person at a genetic level. When you live healthier, eat better, exercise, and love more, your brain cells actually increase.

One way to change our genes is to make new ones, as Craig Venter has so elegantly shown.
Another is to change our lifestyles.
what we’re learning is how powerful and dynamic these changes can be, that you don’t have to wait very long to see the benefits. When you eat healthier, manage stress, exercise and love more, your brain actually gets more blood flow and more oxygen.
But more than that, your brain gets measurably bigger. Things that were thought impossible just a few years ago can actually be measured now. This was figured out by Robin Williams a few years before the rest of us.
0:44 Now, there’s some things that you can do to make your brain grow new brain cells. Some of my favorite things, like chocolate and tea, blueberries, alcohol in moderation, stress management and cannabinoids found in marijuana. I’m just the messenger.
And other things that can make it worse, that can cause you to lose brain cells. The usual suspects, like saturated fat and sugar, nicotine, opiates, cocaine, too much alcohol and chronic stress.
Your skin gets more blood flow when you change your lifestyle, so you age less quickly. Your skin doesn’t wrinkle as much. Your heart gets more blood flow. We’ve shown that you can actually reverse heart disease. That these clogged arteries that you see on the upper left, after only a year become measurably less clogged.
And the cardiac PET scan shown on the lower left, the blue means no blood flow. A year later — orange and white is maximum blood flow. We’ve shown you may be able to stop and reverse the progression of early prostate cancer and, by extension, breast cancer, simply by making these changes.
We’ve found that tumor growth in vitro was inhibited 70% in the group that made these changes, whereas only nine percent in the comparison group.
Simple lifestyle changes that can actually make your brain bigger:
These differences were highly significant. Even your sexual organs get more blood flow, so you increase sexual potency. One of the most effective anti-smoking ads was done by the Department of Health Services, showing that nicotine, which constricts your arteries, can cause a heart attack or a stroke, but it also causes impotence. Half of guys who smoke are impotent. How sexy is that?
we’re also about to publish a study — the first study showing you can change gene expression in men with prostate cancer. This is what’s called a heat map — and the different colors — and along the side, on the right, are different genes. And we found that over 500 genes were favorably changed — in effect, turning on the good genes, the disease-preventing genes, turning off the disease-promoting genes.
so these findings I think are really very powerful, giving many people new hope and new choices. And companies like Navigenics and DNA Direct and 23andMe, that are giving you your genetic profiles, are giving some people a sense of, “Gosh, well, what can I do about it?”
Well, our genes are not our fate, and if we make these changes — they’re a predisposition — but if we make bigger changes than we might have made otherwise, we can actually change how our genes are expressed.

Ce n’est pas de folie d’amour que tu rêves: c’est d’un mari, d’une femme lesbienne…
Et s’il n’est homme qui supporte moins la contrainte d’une femme, il n’est personne qui sache se contraindre plus qu’une femme pour montrer son amour
Les hommes et les femmes ne sont pas plus sage les uns que les autres: un amour manqué et l’on devient moine/soeur, abandonne le pays, ou se laisser mourire.
C’est en jouant le jeu de l’ aimée, qu’un beau jour elle est éprise et prise au jeu.
La folie est la compagne et le guide de la creation et de l’amour.
Aujourd’hui on dit: “les génes sont les folles activateurs”
Quand je n’arrive pas a m’imaginer une bête ou une plante, alors ca m’est indifferent de tuer les poules.
Les tisserants de la ville lui confient leurs enfants en nourrice: et leur propres enfants en patissent
Je suis allé en Suede, a la poursuite de ma garce de bien-aimé, que je trouve marriée. Les arrangements avec le mari mon prouver qu’il n’avait pas de coeur. Il n’avait pas de savoir-faire.
J’étais éleve et entouré de tendresse feminine: Je ‘étais pas capable de haine soutenue. (Et portant, la haine feminine perdure: il etait chanceux)
C’est un effort prodigieux de bêtise pour etre capable de croire sérieusement á la guerre et accepter l’éventualité
Lorsequ’il s’agit de tuer mes semblables, je ne suis plus assez poête. Et je tue sans panache
Experimental mind testing: give a subject/researcher a peer-reviewed paper of Another discipline and test his comprehension
In the USA, going bankrupt is a way of doing business: No shame or blame attached to it. Except if a US financial company own your “foreign” business, then you are a very bad person, and your entire family owe the company.
Someone self-sufficient in his utter egotistic shyness, who refrains from communicating and asking questions, it is normal he views Injustice Not emanating from men, but victims and tools
Anyone knows of a taxonomy for mathematics? The shared axioms, the applied fields, the algorithmic natures…
Anyone in any rank of power, cognizant of the Injustices surrounding his work environment, is source of injustice if he doesn’t whistle-blow or come to the rescue of the hapless. He is liable of undue cruelty and you don’t need to give much weight to his excuses,
Décidé a faire dans le génie, je n’arrivais qu’a manqur de talent
Un jeune recrue, entendant ma mére crier “Vive la France” et seule a porter un drapeau tricolore, grommelea: “Ca se voit bien qu’elle n’est pas Francaise”
Je me reconnais dans tous mes ennemis: une veritable infirmité
Quelques bêtes meurent de honte. Notre espéce meurt du Destin stupid.
Discovering the mysteries of life and the Universe might not be attainable: for the simple reason that any paradigm would not stick long enough to capture the mind of any generation.
Dans toutes les organism sociaux malades, l’espionnism sévisse.
Le plus grand effort de ma vie est de désespérer totallement. Rien n’y fait: je suis trop lent pour que le désespoir accélere suffisamment.
Les militaires des nations vaincues sont méprisés óu ils séjournent. Il faudrait que toutes les armés soient vaincues simultanément pour avoir la paix

Avec le temps, je rougis plus facilement de la colére que de modestie
Elle aime les jolie histoires, ma mere. Je n’en connait pas de jolies: les series a la TV n’offrent pas de supplement romantiques. On suit les coups, les vociferations, les ennuis de rage et de désespoires
For a piece of shit, it’s a real piece
Dans toutes les forêts du monde, j’ai su reconnoitre la voie de la bête-femelle qui a perdu son petit
Savoir que l’humain est une tentation impossible, ne doit pas etre accompagné et accueilli avec la resignation du désesperé
Cette chaude camomille empoisonnée de l’habitude, qui se verse dans notre gosier avec son gout de renoncement et d’acceptation
Ils étaient trop installés dans leurs meubles, leur condition humaine
Je choisis pour errer sur la terre les lieux oú il y a assez de place pour tous ceux qui ne sont plus lá. (Fauchés par les guerres)
