The Gene Makeover

This book shows readers how they can personally direct and monitor their own health and become proactive in optimizing their quality of life. Thanks to the latest advances in genetic science, one no longer has to be a victim of genetic inheritance.

You know how victims and perpetrators are identified by their DNA on TV shows like ''CSI'' and ''law & Order.'' Now, that same science can help you lead a longer, healthier life. DNA-deoxyribonulceic acid-is the chemical inside your cells that carries the genetic instructions that make you unique. Aging occurs in DNA as cells replicate themselves continually in a process similar to photocopying. As the normal functioning of our cells becomes less efficient over time due to environmental, lifetyle and hereditary factors, those cells produce less accurate copies, causing malfunctioning throughout the body that results in degenerative diseases and aging. Thanks to the latest advances in genetic science, you no longer have to be a victim of your genetic inheritance. Dr. Giampapa and other researchers have developed a new concept called Personal Genetic Health (PGH). This pioneering PGH Program is based on determining what's needed to promote each individual's health and longevity. By identifying the activity level of five key groups of health control genes and then influencing their favorabole expression with nutraceuticals, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle changes, you can increase your lifespan and decrease your risk of developing certain diseases. By addressing the causes of disease and aging-and actually reversing them-this new anti-aging frontier allows you to control your health and well-being. Now you have the proactive power to optimize the quality of your life.

This book shows readers how they can personally direct and monitor their own health and become proactive in optimizing their quality of life. Thanks to the latest advances in genetic science, one no longer has to be a victim of genetic inheritance.

This book examines the complex ways in which television articulates ideas about DNA in the early 21st century. Considering television’s distinct aesthetic and narrative forms, as well as its specific cultural roles, it identifies TV as a key site for the genetic imaginary. The book addresses the key themes of complexity and kinship, which function as nodes around which older essentialist notions about the human genome clash with newly emergent post-genomic sensibilities. Analysing a wide range of US and UK programmes, from science documentaries, science fiction serials and crime procedurals, to family history programmes, sitcoms and reality shows, Television and the Genetic Imaginary illustrates the extent to which molecular frameworks of understanding now permeate popular culture.

Dan Well's Extreme Makeover is a satirical new suspense about a health and beauty company that accidentally develops a hand lotion that can overwrite your DNA. Lyle Fontanelle is the chief scientist for NewYew, a health and beauty company experimenting with a new, anti-aging hand lotion. As more and more anomalies crop up in testing, Lyle realizes that the lotion's formula has somehow gone horribly wrong. It is actively overwriting the DNA of anyone who uses it, turning them into physical clones of someone else. Lyle wants to destroy the formula, but NewYew thinks it might be the greatest beauty product ever designed--and the world's governments think it's the greatest weapon. New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells brings us a gripping corporate satire about a health and beauty company that could destroy the world in Extreme Makeover.

This substantial volume of thirty-three original chapters covers the full range of issues in religious diversity. An indispensable guide for scholars and students, its essays make novel contributions and are crafted by recognized experts who represent a wide variety of religious and philosophical perspectives and backgrounds.

Biotic stresses cause yield loss of 31-42% in crops in addition to 6-20% during post-harvest stage. Understanding interaction of crop plants to the biotic stresses caused by insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and oomycetes, etc. is important to develop resistant crop varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and genomic crop improvement strategies including molecular breeding, transgenics, genomic-assisted breeding and the recently emerging genome editing for developing resistant varieties in pulse crops is imperative for addressing FPNEE (food, health, nutrition. energy and environment) security. Whole genome sequencing of these crops followed by genotyping-by-sequencing have facilitated precise information about the genes conferring resistance useful for gene discovery, allele mining and shuttle breeding which in turn opened up the scope for 'designing' crop genomes with resistance to biotic stresses. The nine chapters each dedicated to a pulse crop in this volume elucidate on different types of biotic stress agents and their effects on and interaction with the crop plants; enumerate on the available genetic diversity with regard to biotic stress resistance among available cultivars; illuminate on the potential gene pools for utilization in interspecific gene transfer; present brief on the classical genetics of stress resistance and traditional breeding for transferring them to their cultivated counterparts; depict the success stories of genetic engineering for developing biotic stress resistant varieties; discuss on molecular mapping of genes and QTLs underlying biotic stress resistance and their marker-assisted introgression into elite varieties; enunciate on different emerging genomics-aided techniques including genomic selection, allele mining, gene discovery and gene pyramiding for developing resistant crop varieties with higher quantity and quality of yields; and also elaborate some case studies on genome editing focusing on specific genes for generating disease and insect resistant crops.

Weight Loss Tailored for Women Dr. Karatoprak's Weight Loss & Longevity Breakthrough! The Revolutionary Personalized Body-Profile Type Approach Designed For Women Of All Ages For Women Who Want to Lose From 5 to over 100 Lbs. Doctor Developed * Doctor Tested * Doctor Recommended By Ohan Karatoprak, MD Dr. Karatoprak determined that "For proper medically correct weight loss, people need to know their Body-Profile Type and the behavioral aspects of their lifestyle in order to tailor a personalized weight loss program (diet and exercise) for effective weight loss. These factors include: * Body Fat Type * Metabolic Type * Behavioral Type; Under-Exercise or Over-Exerciser; Under-Eater or Over-Eater With this information your Body-Profile Type is determined, which is used to establish a personalized nutrition and exercise program. Other factors such as supplements and in certain cases, medication are also determined using this approach. The How-To is contained in this book. Today we understand that the treatment of obesity (excess body fat) has to be a tailored one for each individual. Since each individual's body composition, metabolism, hormonal balance, exercise capacity, and caloric intake is different. "Not everyone is obese or overweight the same way, and not everyone is obese or overweight for the same reason". This phrase explains why all "one-size-fits-all" low calorie diets and weight loss programs fail. They are "hit-and-miss" weight loss traps, and the majority of them promise quick weight loss results for most of the obese people who are looking for a quick fix. The end result of these weight loss books and diet programs is more obesity and frustration. Sounds familiar? More than 25 years of Dr. Karatoprak's hands on experience in weight loss and research has brought this book to you. As you go through his Body-Profile Type Approach in this book, and watch the free instructional videos, you will learn the essence of obesity and being overweight, and the proper treatment. You will see how important it is not to be on a low calorie diet, which can slow down your metabolism. You will understand how important it is to follow a diet and exercise program which is tailored for you, which will correct your hormonal imbalance, increase your metabolism, and improve your body composition for health and longevity. You will also discover how this book is important for your weight maintenance, to prevent weight gain.
