Michelle Gines, The Re-Imagine Strategist Season 3 Episode 10

Dr. Joyce G. Moore discusses the connection between nutrition and DNA protection.

  • Wisdom Words:
    • Key scripture: Genesis 1:29 emphasizes the importance of seed-bearing plants for nutrition.
    • "God's words are not suggestions; they are instructions."


Understanding DNA

  • Definition: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material responsible for heredity.
  • Location: Found in the nucleus of cells, structured as a double helix.
  • Function: Acts as a blueprint for all cellular functions and health.


Health Implications of DNA Damage

  • Damaged DNA can lead to serious health issues, including:
    • Heart disease
    • Diabetes
    • Cancer
    • Aging-related conditions
    • Birth defects

Nutritional Recommendations for DNA Protection

    • Bok choy
    • Broccoli (including sprouts and rabe)
    • Cabbage
    • Cauliflower

    • Fiddlehead fern greens
    • Kale
    • Rutabaga
    • Spinach
    • Soy (non-GMO)


Key Takeaways
