David Perlmutter, MD, is an advocate for reminding everyone that “food is information”1. In simple terms, this theory suggests that what you eat is what you become and that the daily dietary choices you make directly connect with your DNA and play a role in the process of gene expression.
When you make poor food choices, you’re more susceptible to inflammation and chronic disease. On the contrary, when you make healthy choices, you provide your body with the best tools it needs to stay healthy.
The world we live in is one of convenience and mass-produced food, filled with an abundance of toxins and chemicals. What we call “food” today – the standard American diet – lacks the real vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body truly needs.
There are more than 3000 preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors added to your food2. Worse still, the regulations around what can and cannot be added are outdated and confusing – it can take years of testing to get an ingredient banned from the food supply.
Thankfully, you can control what you eat.
