as Craig Venter has so elegantly shown.

改變我們基因的方法之一，是製造新的基因，

Another is to change our lifestyles.

如同克萊格•凡特之前優雅的演說一般。

And what we're learning is how powerful and dynamic these changes can be,

另一個方法是，改變我們的生活作息。

that you don't have to wait very long to see the benefits.

我們所學到的是，這些改變可以非常迅速與有效，

When you eat healthier, manage stress, exercise and love more,

你不需要等待太久，就能察覺它的效益。

your brain actually gets more blood flow and more oxygen.

當你吃得更健康，有效紓解壓力，運動與保持喜樂，

But more than that, your brain gets measurably bigger.

你腦部血液循環會增加，因而獲得更多氧氣。

Things that were thought impossible just a few years ago

除此之外，你的腦容積會明顯地變大。

can actually be measured now.

幾年前被認為不可能的事，

This was figured out by Robin Williams

而現在能被測知了。

a few years before the rest of us.

這一點羅賓•威廉斯

Now, there's some things that you can do

比我們還要更早幾年知道。（電影：窈窕奶爸）

to make your brain grow new brain cells.

因此，你可以做一些事情來

Some of my favorite things, like chocolate and tea, blueberries,

促使你的腦增生新的腦細胞。

alcohol in moderation, stress management

一些我最喜愛的事物，像是巧克力、茶、藍莓、

and cannabinoids found in marijuana.

適度的飲酒，良好的情緒管理

I'm just the messenger.

還有大麻中的大麻醇。

(Laughter)

我只是傳遞訊息而已。

What were we just talking about?

（全場大笑）

(Laughter)

我們剛剛談到哪裡？

And other things that can make it worse,

（全場大笑）

that can cause you to lose brain cells.

其他這些事情可以使情形惡化，

The usual suspects, like saturated fat and sugar,

它們可以讓你失去腦細胞。

nicotine, opiates, cocaine, too much alcohol and chronic stress.

它們是我們常聽到的，像是：飽和脂肪與糖類、

Your skin gets more blood flow when you change your lifestyle,

尼古丁、嗎啡、古柯鹼、過量飲酒與慢性的壓力。

so you age less quickly. Your skin doesn't wrinkle as much.

當你改變生活作息的同時，皮膚的血液循環也會增加，

Your heart gets more blood flow.

因此可以減緩老化，減少皺紋產生。

We've shown that you can actually reverse heart disease.

你的心臟獲得更多的血液供給。

That these clogged arteries that you see on the upper left,

我們已經證明，你可以逆轉心臟疾病的生成。

after only a year become measurably less clogged.

你們在左上圖所看到的這些動脈阻塞，

And the cardiac PET scan shown on the lower left,

在短短的一年後變得暢通許多。

the blue means no blood flow.

而在左下圖是心血管正子掃描結果，

A year later -- orange and white is maximum blood flow.

藍色意味著沒有血液流過。

We've shown you may be able to stop and reverse the progression

一年後 — 橘色和白色表示血液循環非常暢通。

of early prostate cancer and, by extension, breast cancer,

我們已經證明，你可以停止或是反轉

simply by making these changes.

早期攝護腺癌(另譯:前列腺癌)的發生，推測乳癌也適用，

We've found that tumor growth in vitro was inhibited

只要做出這些改變。

70 percent in the group that made these changes,

當病人作出這些改變，

whereas only nine percent in the comparison group.

他們的癌細胞在試管培養實驗發現生長力降低了 70%,

These differences were highly significant.

而對照組只降低了 9%。

Even your sexual organs get more blood flow,

這些差異非常的顯著。

so you increase sexual potency.

甚至你性器官的血液循環也會增加，

One of the most effective anti-smoking ads was done

所以你的性能力會跟著增加。

by the Department of Health Services,

衛生局製作出了最有效的

showing that nicotine, which constricts your arteries,

反菸害廣告之一，

can cause a heart attack or a stroke,

告訴人們，尼古丁會使動脈收縮，

but it also causes impotence.

導致心臟病發作或是中風，

Half of guys who smoke are impotent.

同時也會引發性無能。

How sexy is that?

半數吸煙的男士有性功能障礙。

Now we're also about to publish a study --

這樣能多性感？

the first study showing you can change gene expression in men with prostate cancer.

我們也即將發表一則研究 —

This is what's called a heat map --

這個研究顯示，你可以改變攝護腺癌男士的基因表現。

and the different colors -- and along the side, on the right, are different genes.

這是我們稱之為基因熱圖的資料。

And we found that over 500 genes were favorably changed --

這些不同的顏色，在投影片右邊你可以看到，表示不同的基因。

in effect, turning on the good genes, the disease-preventing genes,

我們發現，超過五百個基因呈現好轉趨勢，

turning off the disease-promoting genes.

開啟好的基因，能防止疾病的基因，

And so these findings I think are really very powerful,

關閉會促使疾病產生的基因。

giving many people new hope and new choices.

我認為，這些發現是非常有用的。

And companies like Navigenics and DNA Direct and 23andMe,

能為許多人帶來新的希望與選擇。

that are giving you your genetic profiles,

而那些像是 Navigenix, DNA Direct 和 23andMe 等

are giving some people a sense of, "Gosh, well, what can I do about it?"

提供你個人基因資訊的公司，

Well, our genes are not our fate, and if we make these changes --

會為某些人帶來命定論的感覺，「老天，我能怎麼辦？」

they're a predisposition -- but if we make bigger changes

這麼嘛，我們的基因不能決定我們的命運，只要我們能做改變 —

than we might have made otherwise,

它們是你的體質傾向，但如果我們做出更大的改變，

we can actually change how our genes are expressed.

我們可以改變它的方向，

Thank you.

我們可以改變我的的基因如何表現。

(Applause)

謝謝大家。
