Sage words from Dr. Michael Greger, MD in his video "How Not to Die":
"Let me share with you the best-kept secret in medicine. The best-kept secret in medicine is that sometimes, given the right conditions, our body can heal itself.
If you whack your shin really hard on a coffee table, it can get all red, hot, swollen, and inflamed, but will heal naturally if we just stand back and let our body work its magic. But what if we kept whacking it in the same place three times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) every day? It’d never heal.
You’d go to your doctor and say, “My shin hurts.” And the doctor would be like, no problem, whip out their pad, and write you a prescription for painkillers. You’re still whacking your shin three times a day, but it feels so much better with the pain pills on board. Thank heavens for modern medicine.How do you know what to believe?"

You do not have to give into the statement there is nothing I can do it is in my genes. Genes can be turned on or off depending on what we eat. So opt for the foods that express particular genes to our betterment--turn on good genes and off bad genes. It is called gene expression.
