Your genes are not your fate: Dean Ornish on TED.com
Back online: Dr. Dean Ornish shares new research that shows how adopting healthy lifestyle habits can affect a person at a genetic level. For instance, he says, when you live healthier, eat better, exercise, and love more, your brain cells actually increase. And new findings show that a healthier lifestyle can turn off disease-provoking genes and turn on the good ones. (Recorded March 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 3:35.)
Watch Dean Ornish's 2008 talk on TED.com, where you can download it, rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances, including Dr. Ornish's earlier talk on America's killer diet.
