"A Tucson integrative medicine physician says “brain-healthy living”
slows cognitive decline — and political and health leaders are
beginning to take note.
"“You are not a prisoner to your genes,” says Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa,
who is president and medical director of the Tucson-based Alzheimer’s
Research and Prevention Foundation. “There are things a person can do
to make sure you bring out the best in your genes. Genes are part of
the story, but not the whole story.”"
"With our study at UCLA, with doing Kirtan Kriya meditation for 12
minutes a day, what we found is that we had positive gene expression.
The genes that cause inflammation in the body (inflammation is found
in Alzheimer’s Disease), were down-regulated — made less expressive.
The genes responsible for positive immune system function were
up-regulated by doing Kirtan Kriya for 12 minutes a day for eight
weeks."
