Lifestyle modification involves making long-term changes to habits like eating and physical activity to treat diseases. A lifestyle reflects one's attitudes, values, and world views. Diseases are the villains in the story, while heroes are positive lifestyle behaviors and emotions that alter brain chemistry and cell growth. Nurture, like lifestyle factors, can shape nature by inducing epigenetic changes that affect gene expression without altering DNA. Maintaining healthy cells through good circulation is important for overall health and preventing unhappy cells that can lead to disease. Lifestyle choices and environmental exposures are linked to various cancers and cancer mortality rates.

- 1. Life style and cellular changes What is the story? Dr. S. Mohammadpour

- 6. Emotions The mind sends signals, the brain releases chemicals, and these messages are sent to our cells. someone that is in love, they are producing huge amounts of the feel-good hormones, dopamine and oxytocin. These hormones alter our brain chemistry to fulfill the growth potential of cells. Fear, releases a different set of chemicals (mainly stress hormones and inflammatory agents), which signals the cells to stop growing. nocebo effect= negative thought placebo effect= positive thoughts S.Mohammadpour Sep 2018
- 7. Grandma’s behaviors Leave a Mark on Your Genes Your ancestors' lousy childhoods or excellent adventures might change your personality, bequeathing anxiety or resilience by altering the epigenetic expressions of genes in the brain. •Positive beliefs •Yoga •Spirituality •Prayers •Positive Images and visualizations •Electromagnetic shifts •Optimism •Intention •Energy Medicine •Energy Psychology •Positive Thinking •Nurturing •Gratitude •Happy Social Networks •Acts of Kindness •Meditation •CompassionS.Mohammadpour Sep 2018

Telomeres ‐ non‐coding repeat sequences of DNA; cap and protect chromosomes – Telomeres shorten with cell division and DNA damage – Critically short telomeres can lead to • Cellular senescence • Genomic instability – Implications for disease risk Lifestyle and Environmental Factors Associated with Telomere Length S.Mohammadpour Sep 2018
- 16. Your body is made up of 50 trillion cells. Every second your body produces 25 million new cells. This cell represents any cell of the body a brain cell, skin cell, liver cell etc. All cells need to be in close proximity to normal circulation or blood flow so they can continue to function properly. Happy Cells vs. Unhappy Cells “The Happy Cell” S.Mohammadpour Sep 2018
- 17. “The Unhappy Cell” When food is digested the nutrients are first processed by the liver and are then released into the circulation or blood stream to feed the cells of our bodies. When circulation is blocked or partially blocked the required nutrients can not reach the cell. We call that cell “The Unhappy Cell” Happy Cells vs. Unhappy Cells S.Mohammadpour Sep 2018
- 18. Unhappy cells in our brain are called: headaches, anxiety, depression, memory loss, alzheimer's or stroke Unhappy cells in our chest are called: chest pain, palpitations, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, angina, heart attack We can do this with any cell in our body and come back with a cause of poor circulation – even with cancer!
