You Are What Your Grandparents Ate by Judith Finlayson

You Are What Your Grandparents Ate takes the hard science of Epigenetics and makes it accessible and digestible. Some expert predictions that the current generation now growing up will be the first to have a shorter lifespan than those that preceded it should be taken seriously, and You Are What Your Grandparents Ate addresses this and other health and nutritional issues. Explaining the origins of the epidemics of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity, it aims to identify a comprehensive package of warning signs that can be used as markers to take preventative steps, helping to improve mortality and reduce the risks of developing chronic disease. Epigenetics is an emerging topic in science and popular culture that explains the long-term impact of health and nutrition in a new and completely accessible way. You Are What Your Grandparents Ate addresses the issue and then offers nutritional guidance and advice regarding nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and mediation which will improve not only your health and lifespan, but that of your descendants. From a bestselling author of books about food, nutrition and wellness with a foreword and scientific review by the highly-respected Dr. Kent Thornburg, You Are What Your Grandparents Ate is a call to action— delivering the message that we can change our health and change our world.

Judith Finlayson draws upon the groundbreaking work of late epidemiologist David Barker in this fascinating and eye-opening treatise on how a wide variety of chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, obesity etc) are linked not only to current lifestyle but to such other factors as stress, environmental toxins, and even, per the title, one's grandparents' diet.--Publisher's Weekly (08/13/2019)
