When we  dont eat for a while a cellular process called autophagy cleans waste products left by dead and damaged cells. Autophagy helps to protect from DNA damage Autophagy & Intermittent Fasting: Activate Garbage Recycling and Cellular Remodeling

The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that toxins from our life can deplete your levels of glutathione. Depletion of glutathione can be caused by poor diet, environmental pollution and toxins, many medications we take long, high levels of stress, any trauma our body has gone through from physical to emotional, general…

Oxidative is a natural process that happens to all living cells. It takes place when oxygen(O2) interacts with cells. This happens everywhere, for example with fruit and vegetables. As soon as you cut them or peel them they start to go brown because of oxidation. Contact with oxygen produces changes in the cells. In the…

Cancer (or a tumour) is a form of uncontrolled cell growth. Low levels of methylation in cells can cause uncontrolled cell growth, errors, and cancer. Cells read the DNA code to manufacture new proteins When methylation in DNA is low they’re getting more instructions than usual do meaning more genes in the DNA are exposed…

DNA acetylation – activates genes Activating genes can be great: for instance, yoga and meditation activate genes responsible for reducing oxidative stress (less oxidative stress, less free radicals, healthier and longer life). Think of the magical resveratrol in red grapes that activates longevity genes. But let us think about genes we don’t want to activate like cancer…
