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.

Reliable and Dependable

The LIANXIN Roadside Assistance Emergency Kit is a solid, thoughtfully assembled kit that every car owner should consider keeping in their trunk. It covers all the basics you’d want in an unexpected roadside situation and does so in a compact, well-organized package. The tools feel sturdy and practical rather than cheap or disposable. Items like the jumper cables, reflective safety vest, warning triangle, and flashlight are especially useful and inspire confidence in an actual emergency. Everything fits neatly into the carrying case, making it easy to store without taking up much space. What really stands out is the kit’s versatility—it’s suitable for daily commuters, long road trips, and even new or inexperienced drivers who want extra reassurance. It’s also a great gift idea for students, new drivers, or anyone who wants to be better prepared on the road. Overall, the LIANXIN Roadside Assistance Emergency Kit delivers excellent value for its price. It’s practical, reliable, and provides real peace of mind knowing you’re prepared if something goes wrong. Highly recommended for any vehicle owner. 🚗🧰

Worth every single penny.
Color: gray
I haven’t had this kit in my car for very long, but it has definitely come in handy. Especially when people leave their blown out tires in the middle of the interstate and you accidentally run it over because the traffic is so bad you can’t see it coming and it knocks the plastic protectant piece loose from under your car and starts making an awful sound because it’s being dragged across the ground on the interstate. I pulled over and used one of the zip ties in this kit to hold it up and it’s still holding it up quite nicely I might add. This is something definitely worth having around because you never know what may come your way in life.
