Healthy Foods Change DNA Expression. Many people think of food in relation to its effect their waist size. Eating well can certainly slim your waist and make you look better, but there is much more. Our waist size is just one measure of what’s happening on the inside. Most plants we eat have hundreds of active compounds, as well as many vitamins and minerals – each with a multitude of effects on our physiology.
