Learn how to live a healthy life and leave a legacy of wellness by looking both to the past and to the future.

You Are What Your Grandparents Ate takes conventional wisdom about the origins of chronic disease and turns it upside down. Rooted in the work of the late epidemiologist Dr. David Barker, it highlights the exciting research showing that heredity involves much more than the genes your parents passed on to you. Thanks to the relatively new science of epigenetics, we now know that the experiences of previous generations may show up in your health and well-being.

Many of the risks for chronic diseases -- including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and dementia -- can be traced back to your first 1,000 days of existence, from the moment you were conceived. The roots of these vulnerabilities may extend back even further, to experiences your parents and grandparents had -- and perhaps even beyond.

Similarly, what happens to you will affect your children and grandchildren. That's why it's so important to make good dietary choices, get a suitable amount of exercise and be cautious about exposure to toxins. Positive lifestyle changes have been shown to spark epigenetic adjustments that can lead to better health, not only for yourself, your offspring and their children, but also for generations to come.

This book makes hard science accessible. It is a call to action for social as well as personal change, delivering the message that by changing our own health, we can also influence the future of the world.

This is a good toy. But it's not big as the picture shows it's rather small. Looking for bigger toy.

My dog loves this guy!!
Color: gray & pink
This is the cutest little guy and my dog loves him. He knows him by name, he is tough and holds up incredibly well. My dog can give it a good chew but no problem! Make more cute ones and we will give them all names for him to play with.

Cute and well loved.
Color: gray & pink, Color: gray & pink
My dog gives this 5 stars because she loves to destroy stuffies and this was no exception. She immediately removed the ears and tail, along with the little nubs that were supposed to be nostrils. I give is a few points because she still hasn't removed any legs. I thought it was so cute, and it is far less cute since my dog has had her way with it. She still loves it however…so it is a winner in our book. The photo is after only a couple hours of play
