      We have identified specific genes and proteins within skeletal muscle that respond to exercise and are specifically sensitive to the type of food we eat. So we are now trying to understand how these systems function in healthy athletes trying to improve performance, or in chronic disease individuals where muscle is weak and doesn’t function as well as in healthy individuals.

      People with mental health conditions need encouragement and support, and not prejudice! Similarly, obese people need encouragement and/or moral support to motivate themselves to adopt healthy lifestyle… Adopting healthy lifestyle is not just about cutting your calorie and do exercise but is also about improving your mental well-being 🙂
