Book Review: "The 6 Keys: Unlock Your Genetic Potential for Ageless Strength, Health, and Beauty" By Jillian Michaels

Is aging predetermined?

Can we alter the course of our own aging?

Now, most of us know by now the reality: Eat right, sleep tight, have plenty of sex, drink loads of water, stress less,& exercise.

What if we went deeper and indulged in less common ideas that may not have been discussed in detail?

Would that change your mind?

Throw away the Keto folks-this is about increasing stamina, building lean and long muscles, repairing the old and fixing what needs fixing within those darn cells.

Check it out ~96% of the body is a mixture of 4 elements-carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

Twenty five percent reduction of daily calories leads to fewer signs of oxidative stress.

Vitamin C we all know is good for us but it also helps kill older damaged stem cells in bone marrow by activating an enzyme known as TET2 for which w/o it you'd have certain blood cancers.

Ok, there you have it- the no nonsense information- but look did you ever wonder if certain personality traits or genetic traits were handed down to you?

How about PTSD and trauma? What if you experienced this and now wonder am I in trouble here?

Surely, research now shows that not only will you not be a candidate for more of this toxicity but in fact you can have the reverse and have resilience built in because of your experiences.

Everything with a grain of salt and in moderation but to an extent.

You know by now physical activity is important because it affects our genes. It also lowers risk for age related disease.

Sitting increases inflammation.

Eat those fruits and veggies, grains, and fish but remember just 20 minutes a day with moderate intensity can be a life changer.

A great read for all those interested in their health and well being.
