The authors argue that if you treat your microbiome right (exercise, sleep well, avoid alcohol and environmental toxins and eat whole, fresh foods), then your genes will up-regulate (produce proteins like a younger version of you) and operate at their optimum, thereby negating any sense that our biologic destiny is written in our genes.

Both doctors argue that how we treat our microbiome affects our genes, turning off undesirable aspects (i.e., propensity to certain diseases) and turning on desirable ones (i.e., regeneration of cells and organs and extending telemeres in every gene)... and this is done dynamically, with effects notable in the body sometimes in just 24 hours of us doing something positive or negative for the body.… (més)

در توضیحات کتاب آورده شده بود که این کتاب با کمک "آخرین یافته های علم پزشکی و عصب شناسی" نوشته شده است. حال این که به جز فصول اول، می شه گفت صحبت های چوپرا اصولا در رابطه درمان های جایگزین هست. دریافت من از این کتاب این بود که نویسنده در تلاش برای توضیح و تشویق به درمان های جایگزین هست اما توضیحاتی علمی هم می ده که لزوما ارتباطی با حمایت از درمان های جایگزین نداره.… (més)

This book caught my attention because the title was catchy and I wanted to have a super brain or at least, a better brain.

But this book is not exactly a walkthrough or a guide book that I tot it was. instead, it talks a lot on the spiritual and medical side of the brain. I am neither a doctor or a spirit guru so I am not sure what to do about it. the whole content is hard to digest if you do not have a biology background. I struggle to read on even though I know this is a brilliant book.

The book is so full of knowledge and scientific facts and the author also combine them with spiritual wisdom. However, the book can be very boring with no jokes at all in 300 pages. Its like reading key extraxts of scientific journals on brains explained in slightly easier laymans terms. Pick this up only if you truly want to know more about your brain.

ps: There are also many other well known books which talk about the brain in detail.… (més)
