in May 2008
my dad yes heart attack and although you hear
as very strange I think it’s one of the
days where we have felt the most
proud of him
my dad is a doctor, this sociologist ceases
and mainly is dedicated to operate
hearts then for his work he
I knew the signs and symptoms of what
that is a heart attack even when he
I had never had it on the day I
this happened
my dad was doing one of his
hobbies was in a competition of
shot with disc was with his friends and
after his turn
started to feel how these things really
strange not and then he says to them
and that hey give me this pill and give me this
pill italy they give them and they say
what is happening because we are
asking my dad tells him so with his
super face would be as always of the
that I’m facing so what
good total this thanks to him he had
as this knowledge and managed to take
all this because he was able to get to the hospital
could receive timely attention and the
today is still here with us in
that time I was studying
nutrition and I was of these students
as very intelligent but a little
that the teachers did not like
because I was very curious for everything
was and why and why and why
this and why yes in the digital book and
in that then like that they leave me of
click many things that are
learning because finally my dad
it was not the patient that in the books
he said he was going to face my dad
I was not an overweight person with
obesity
neither was a sedentary person his
habits of or not the best but
neither are they very condemned to that
often happens when they ask these
teachers two mentions that is genetic
and I then teach
genetics and told me then that no
There is much to learn
until they spend two years or so
I have to be with a teacher called
gabi ya vi completely changed the course
of everything that I was doing and she
yes very sincere you told me you know that ale
the answers are not here in
mexico and here you will not know why
your father passes you and you study
nutrigenomics I had not even
listened to that word already takes five
years studying nutrition I did not know
what is it is that this existed and well
she said
bt study it and bring the answers
here and tell us how to do
prevent this and well finally I
I put research
I learn that the relationship between
the nutrients and genetics of the
people and then I think that out there
is a little bit the answer in 2011
then applied for mastery and I
I go to Spain very specifically I
I went to a divine island in mallorca and
I start that picture was taken the first
day leaving school and although there
I’m smiling that day I left crying
of the school did not understand anything
who is learning are talking about
genes of replication chromosomes
I did not know anything about that but hey
go ahead
I was learning a little bit hours and hours
of study and finally in November of
2011
one of my teachers mentions something that I
I had never heard and that already
completely defined what I do
I, today, my teacher mentions
something called the theory of origin
fetal disease
this theory states that all
events that happen while we
we are the fetuses
we are inside our mom are going to
have a very large influence on
our health when we are adults or
be all these events over which not
we have a voice or vote
are the ones that are going to mark our
life in terms of health to life
adult
and then well, they do not take care of
research on this and in this
investigation I find the following already
since 2010 we know a lot about this topic
in fact the time magazine came out a
article that is very interesting and
very basic but that helped me a lot
help me investigate a little bit
plus
part of what I find is this in
our genes are written all the
non-infectious diseases that we can
get to suffer in adult life
and this when they tell him he became very strong
because I said good because I’m going to infarct
and that’s because there are dads infarct
because my uncles my grandparents and such and such
scared a lot there has to be a
healthy way I did not come to Spain to return
to find this keeps investigating and
I find that we really are not going to
suffer all diseases and that
is related to a term
relatively new that is called
epigenetics to explain what is the
epigenetics I’m going back a little bit
be the question of the basics in
reproduction
these are my parents more or less
at the age that they had me at 50
hundred of my genes come from my mom and
50 percent of my genes have from me
dad and the same for all of you
then when they pass us the
genes is not exactly what happens to us
but how these genes happen to us and that
is the epigenetics are these candaditos
that our parents pass us that can
be closed or they can be open
if we talk about our genes being
written the diseases and they happen to us
as we have these closed padlocks
much less risk that something we
can happen but they are open
we have more weight
let’s start with mom first
when a baby inside breast
everything that happens around her what
is going to impact him his feeding the
exercise
the environment where moving the
chemicals around
Stress your hours of sleep all
hits and you leave this one
finger prints in your metabolism
but not only the baby also reaches
impact a next generation
then it is very strong because a
mom impacted generations more
go ahead and they are leaving these
small fingerprints in the reproductive cells
russian grandchildren
all this kind of research
began based on what is famine
dutch holland in winter of 1944
step by by one for a long time
famine and people suffered
very much mainly women
pregnant women went through this famine in
different stages some in the first
trimester
others mid- pregnancy and other
in his last quarter
babies are born full- term famine
dutch
everything followed 40 and 50 years later
between the eighties and nineties you start
to analyze these babies that are already
adults are people from 40 to 50 years old and
although in Holland a style of
very healthy life
the babies that were born in this era
they were presenting diabetes or
hypertension or diseases
respiratory and everything for these traces
that were left out of the little nutrition that
they received at that time they were so
distinctive these traces you could
predict exactly in what period of
her pregnancy the mother went through the
famine and that’s not only when
there is low weight when a mom starts
your pregnancy with excess weight or during
pregnancy goes up a lot of weight
it is also leaving metabolic traces
that are not suitable that can later
bring
a delay in the development of the baby
delay their motor skills and
same chronic diseases that avoids
I mentioned them today yes it’s very strange
find a woman who says is that
I’m eating for two, nothing happens
is that I want all my cravings that I
comply already there is a little bit more
awareness about women today
they are given folic acid to avoid
any defect that their
babies and they are asked to have good
habits have good hours of sleep
that they exercise they choose your
best foods
today we do have that information and before
we did not have it yet at the time
for example my grandmother did not know
that a woman had to take acid
folic and it was not ignorance
science had not reached that point
still but good not everything is the mom what
happens with the other 50 percent of those
genes that we have here comes the most
important to return a little bit to
the reproductive issue have to
know that men generate
sperm all the time and the the
quality of the DNA that these cells come
depends directly on the health of the
Pope at that time then right now
we found that 48 percent of
men worldwide suffer from
overweight or of some degree of obesity
and this has been reflected in the fact that
a delay a failure in the implantation
of the ovule is pregnancy is not carried
out and it’s not a matter of the breast or that
there may also be abortions
spontaneous and this all for that 50 per
hundred of the genes that sometimes even
we do them case it has also been
analyzed in men the question
of folic acid and it has been seen that
who have an efficiency also
they are going to have a very big impact on
its 200 generations
then he
this the investigation that I am going to
show and it’s clearly is
experimental can not be done is so
human is ratitas that they see here
they all come from moms with a lot of health
with very good amount of folic acid
in your body and schools divide in two
groups
then a rat come from a dad
with enough folic acid is this
who is here and we see how he has very
well marked his little bones his legs the
tail
everything is very well formed by the
another four that you see there we started to
see that they have many deficiencies in their
structure and they all come from potatoes with
a deficiency of folic acid
then they have problems in the skull
in his little paws in the spine
Men also need acid
Folic need to spend that 50
hundred of your genes in the best way
I do not think I ‘m inviting men
and women do something impossible
eating well and exercising stop
smoking does not take as much is not impossible and
even so I find myself day by day with that
there are people who do not want to do it and good
it is everyone’s decision but if
I invite you if what you want is
have children at some time that so
minus men three months three months
before thinking about having a son tom in
folic acid to dancing check up follow
there issues with glucose with
cholesterol go to a specialist
drop a little extra weight
exercise please lower the
Roast meats do not drink as much alcohol
stop smoking
I do believe that what most want the
future dads have healthy children and
what better way than passing them the
best version of you is not
impossible
Can be done
and also know that for more than this
they do it
there are going to be pressures that come out
completely our control
having good nutrition before
conceiving a baby does not mean either
is getting into a little bubble like that
and nothing will happen to him but at least
yes I can give you the peace of mind that
you did things right that
meanwhile he remained not stop thinking
also in the nutrition that the
nutrition are three day juices are
One- month smoothies are pills for
lose weight
they twist my stomach every time
I see that someone invites people to
twenty-one day challenges to lose
weight and size is not true does not happen and in
twenty one days no tracks are generated
healthy metabolic
you
on the contrary enter into this kind of
issues that are so strict and so
radicals generates metabolic footprints
that can do a lot of damage
you have to see nutrition as something more
with those metabolic traces that
we want to leave in us and that if
we are in at an appropriate time because
we want to move on to future generations
now maybe many of you already have
children and they are thinking said the merger
he did nothing that is not he never knows
gay is never late to start is never
late to instill good habits
it’s never too late to be able to change and if
we have these candaditos in our dna
open start to close your eyes to
close them with these good habits
yes you can if you can and we have all
life to make it of knowledge in
health area can save lives
my dad saved his life in that
then know these signs and
symptoms and I think that to this day
you who are here who are
receiving this information
this nutrition knowledge can
help save your life
those of your future generations avoiding
Maybe they go through the same thing that
it happens that my dad happened what they see
here is my baby be I do not know I do not know
what the future holds for me you are not I
said a thousand times to my husband who is mine
who knows who knows what
is going to come think we ‘re going to
face but what is it
we can be very calm is that you
we passed our best version and that I
I think one day he will thank us
Thank you
[Applause]
