Nutritional genomics, or nutrigenomics, is the study of how foods affect our genes and how individual genetic differences can affect the way we respond to nutrients (and other naturally occurring compounds) in the foods we eat. Nutrigenomics has received much attention recently because of its potential for preventing, mitigating, or treating chronic disease, and certain […]
by Darren Sassall Disease in the body manifests in a wide variety of symptoms, but interestingly, there is a common denominator and cause behind these symptoms – Inflammation and Oxidation! While industry funded science focuses on individual diseases, population wide diets and the symptom based treatment of illness with drugs (and more recently natural supplements), […]
Cells, cells and more cells. 100 000 billion of them in fact. Each one a community of its own. What makes a natural healthy cell? Its environment (internal and external). The environment dictates the way the cell expresses its genetic material in the nucleus via the so called “junk genes” which act as the dials […]
When recovering from anything, be it the common cold to a more serious infection, sports injury, or night out consisting of heavy drinking, there is a period of time that allows for recovery. However, depending on your nutritional reserves and environmental stressors, this “recovery” period can be drastically shortened. Basically, the body utilities nutrition in […]
For years most of the fear around cancer has existed because no one really knew what caused it. It really was the unknown. We didn’t know what it actually was or who would get it; let alone how to control it. Today, we find that most of the mystery has disappeared & better knowledge, early […]
Autoimmune diseases are a broad range of related diseases in which a person’s immune system produces an inappropriate response against its own cells, tissues and/or organs, resulting in inflammation and damage. There are over 80 different autoimmune diseases, ranging from common to very rare diseases. Conditions known as Autoimmune Diseases include (and are not limited […]
What is your AMY 1 Gene? AMY1 is a gene that produces the enzyme amylase. What is Amylase? Amylase is found in our saliva and plays a major role in the digestion of starch, which is a carbohydrate found in grains, legumes, fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Amylase begins the process of carbohydrate metabolism in […]
We talk a lot about chronic disease here at Core – our new Better Health Management initiative is based on it. So this blog is to help understand what chronic disease actually is, and how it develops. What is chronic disease? Besides being the leading cause of death and disability in Australia, and the most […]
