PuraVida in Our Food

Our Food and Our Wellness
Food is one of the most important commodities we trade in the daily bases. We visit food stores many more times that any other type of institution (with the exception of the one we work at) and yet we may not be totally familiar with the composition of each one of the products we eat and with the best possible combination of them to produce a well balance meal, rich in flavor offering us a state of wellness and at the least possible cost.	We offer you a great deal of data, articles and potentially specials presented to members of PuraVida by selected vendors and food distributors for us to enjoy and take advantage of them. If you have a recipe you want to share with the rest of the world, please send it. Naturally we invite you to share with the rest of the community of PuraVida the knowledge about nutrients, the best practice in the preparation of food to keep the best possible nutritional value in our food.
We truly are what we eat... Scientists at Nanjing University made a startling discovery about the food we eat. Not only do we ingest the nutrients from our food, we incorporate some of the genetic material as well. The research team discovered abundant levels of rice microRNA in the bloodstream of Chinese test subjects. And this miRNA isn't just sitting there idly, it may have an effect on our genes. In earlier laboratory trials, this rice miRNA had an effect on gene expression in mice and changed the liver's ability to filter LDL cholesterol. The possibility that the food we eat may regulate gene expression is an exciting discovery, but it brings up as many questions as answers. Does this explain the medicinal qualities of some foods? Could our food be used as a vector to treat disease? And what does this mean for genetically modified foods?
