Discover the transformative power of plant-based nutrition in "Eating Right: Principles of Food and Health" by Paul Chang. This book delves into the link between nutrition and gene expression, emphasizing the role of a plant-based diet in preventing and reversing diseases like cancer. With insights on improving immunity, reducing cancer risks, and optimizing health through balanced meals, this guide offers practical tips and guidelines for a healthier lifestyle.

The Author and Project Background • Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus • of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and Project Director of the China-Oxford Cornell • Diet and Health Project. The study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese • Academy of Preventive Medicine. • 130 villages(65 counties) people spread China involved • Project’s financial support with tens of million dollars and lasts till now
Eating Right: Principles of Food and Health • There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants-based foods. • Genes do not determine genes on their own. Genes function only by being activated, or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good and bad, are expressed. • Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals. • The same good nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages (before diagnosis) can also halt or reverse disease in its later stages (after diagnosis).
Causes to Have Cancers • Eat what would cause cancers • Air pollution, smoking • Water contamination, heavy metal, drink that causes cancers • Reduction of self-immunity system, cell/genes mutation • Global warming, climate change, too strong radiation from Sun
Causes To Improve Cancer Growth(1/2) The more the animal-based protein we have, the higher probability the potential ill tissues are activated!
Guidelines of Meals Take my case as an example • Eat vegetables and fruits • Keep animal-based protein as 15% of maximum limit in total calorie • Averaging during a period of time • Eat fresh and natural food ( keep extra-adds as little as possible, especially the artificial flavour ) • Don’t eat in a full level
Summary • Be a vegetarian as possible as you can • Start with one day per week • gradually become a real one • Never too late to be a quasi/whole vegetarian
