DEEP NUTRITION: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food

Catherine Shanahan, MD and Luke Shanahan

If the foods you eat could change your genes…what would you have for dinner? Long before government RDAs or diet books, people observed how nourishment affects growth. Though they did not know about DNA, they recognized specific foods that influenced their constitutions, and applied this understanding to engineer bodies of extraordinary health and beauty. Today, we owe the length of our limbs, the shape of our eyes, the proper function of our organs—and all that makes us human—to our ancestors’ collective skill.

Deep Nutrition identifies the foods and techniques common to every culture and divides them into four categories, called the Four Pillars of World Cuisine. From the Maasai and ancient Egyptian to the Japanese and the French, you will learn how the same Four Pillars from the foundation of all the healthiest diets. Using the latest research in physiology and genetics, the authors explain why your family’s health depends on eating these foods. In a world of competing nutritional ideologies, Deep Nutrition gives us the full picture, empowering us to take control of our destiny in ways we might never have imagined.
