Preface
After the success of SIRTFOOD in 2015/16 hitting #1 in multiple categories on both sides of the Atlantic and ranking high in several foreign markets, we thought it was time for an expanded 2nd edition.
In this updated 2016 edition of SIRT FOOD we are presenting the science, discoveries and a new understanding of these powerful and health restoring proteins. In addition, we explain how these proteins can ‘switch on’ the DNA in your cells. Therefore strengthening the immune system to help restore health and prevent our most common illnesses and diseases by simply eating the identified and common foods. It’s that simple.
Also included is an illustrated section listing the nutrient makeup of our favourite Sirtfoods and some delicious and simple recipes to get you started. These are guides for you to refer to when preparing your meals or in the supermarket choosing which foods to place on your dining table.
In today’s modern world, we have a tendency to think that our state of health is governed solely by our genetics and other factors beyond our control. We run to the medical professionals for help and guidance when things go wrong and nine out of ten times we come away unsatisfied with the diagnosis and with an expensive prescription in our hand. Modern medicine has a monopoly on treating symptoms and not addressing the underlying cause of our illness.
Vibrant health depends on many internal and external factors and a ten-minute appointment with your overworked M.D. can be a prescription for a lifetime of reliance on medication and management of their side effects.
Many of our doctors themselves suffer from preventable diseases. I can guarantee most of the readers of this book, at some point in their lives, have visited a doctor and come away thinking I am in better shape than my doctor is
. It’s a cliché that the very same doctors handing out statins for high Cholesterol are often squeezed in behind their desks looking like poster boys for obesity, diabetes, addiction, the list goes on.
This work is not in any way a document of criticism of today’s advances in modern medicine; far from it. If today, myself or my family needed surgery, whether it be open heart surgery or a hip replacement, I would not hesitate to put my trust and health into their skilled hands. The expertise of our surgeons is undeniable and they save an enhance countless lives every year. Our scientific understanding of the physiology of the human body has never been greater. In the very near future, our surgeons will all be robotic, guided by the mechanical hand with the human surgeon overseeing with incredibly high-resolution Virtual Reality technology. We have a future where optimal human health will be a reality. We’ll easily replace worn out parts, grow replacement organs from the individual patient’s DNA. No more powerful anti-viral medication to stop the body’s rejection of organ transplants. The future of medicine is very exciting, we’ve come a long way in the last few decades alone.
We are striving for better and more efficient pharmaceuticals with fewer side effects, learning from the natural medicinal molecules we find in nature. But also saying that, the cost both monetary and on the actual health of the patients can be very high while advancing this field of research. Is this really the best way forward? Every year hundreds of new drugs come into the marketplace promising the ultimate elixir to human health. The almost unbelievable monetary cost to develop, trial and market a new product often creates a conflict of interests (more on this later). We also have the many ‘safe’ drugs suddenly withdrawn because of patient fatalities and horrible, long-term damage from side effects to the patient. Our society has become a kind of experimental testing ground for many of these drugs. I realise this point of view might be unpopular in certain fields, but the fact is history shows that most pharmaceuticals come at a high price to the patient’s health over long term use and the side effect often has to be treated with even more drugs. Could there be a better way?
The key insight of SIRT FOOD is that our health is not fixed, but can be constructed by the decisions and choices we make every day, starting with our informed choices we make about our food. The molecules we put into our mouths via our food are the fundamental building blocks for every cell in our bodies. We have a direct route to the integrity and health of our immune system. Our cells need high-grade nutrients to function normally, if we feed them junk and toxins they eventually seek a dire revenge on us for neglecting them. The science is in and a new way of thinking is revolutionising our understanding of the connections between Health & Nutrition. Do we wait for our Doctors to retrain and pass this information onto us? Shockingly most medical professionals have little or no training in nutrition. I’ve had doctors confess to me that in the course of 10yrs+ training they were lucky to get two weeks on rudimentary nutrition. This explains a lot. Our doctors are trained to apply band-aids over symptoms of illness via pharmaceutical. Here’s a quick fix, now go about your day. Very little is ever taught to our society about prevention of disease, and believe or not, the majority of diseases are preventable. We should no longer hand over the responsibility of our health to other people. I hope this book will enlighten you, the reader, to do more research, share the information and take proactive measures with your diets and environments. The acceptance of chronic disease is not acceptable anymore, we can and we will do things better.
The bottom line is, the person responsible for your health is you.
'The Medicine is on your Plate', if you choose so.

Introduction
Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
Albert Einstein
It is probably fair to say that most of us have never heard of the term Sirtfood and to be fair there is no reason why we should have. This book is not an exhaustive analysis or even partial critique of the biology of Sirtfoods or the proteins they are hypothesised to activate. It is more to impart that eating Sirtfoods is not a fad and that the action of SIRT proteins is the subject of detailed research by agencies which are engaged in seeking solutions to conditions ranging from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease. You do not need a biology degree to understand what is written herein. However, by necessity, there are several key terms that must be explained. I have attempted to deconstruct these explanations and include hyperlinks to certain definitions which are relevant to the subject in hand. I hope the writing generates the enthusiasm to follow up on any oh I didn’t know that
moments that may (or may not) present themselves as you read through the chapters contained in this book. The writing here is aimed at a non-specialist audience (I myself am no expert in this field), who have at least a passing interest (no matter the reason), in understanding some of what happens to the food we eat when it is digested and the power of this to change our health. The reader will come across familiar terms such as healthy living or healthy eating, but will (I hope) gain an appreciation of what these terms mean from a biochemical or metabolic perspective. The book is designed to inform, empower and provoke additional enthusiasm for getting back into the kitchen and take full control of your health via nutrition. As will be imparted repeatedly you do not need to reinvent the culinary wheel. In all probability, you may just need to give your current wheel an extra impetus. It is hoped that the reader will be inspired to take more control over the food that they eat and maintain an interest in any future developments in the field of SIRT protein research. The essential message of this writing is to encourage further thought, discussion and provoke individual action on the role of a balanced diet on maintaining your own health. However, it is hoped that the reader gains an understanding of the systemic context in which terms such as the obesity epidemic
are framed. Finally, this is not a book designed to preach it is a book designed to educate. So don’t feel you have to read it as a novel, you can flip and skim as you see fit. Get stuck in and comments are duly welcome.
Chapter 1: Introducing Cells, Proteins, and Sirtfoods
Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.
William Shakespeare
In essence, a healthy metabolism means that all of your different cell types are functioning as they should. In recent years the role of Sirtfoods and Sirtuin Activators (SA’s) in maintaining this healthy function has been the subject of dozens if not hundreds of individual scientific papers. The Silent Information Regulator (SIR) proteins themselves are proteins found in and around cell organelles, they exist, they are real and they are known to have a wide range of functions. This book is going to ask one fundamental question, "Is there any credence to the notion that eating Sirtfoods can influence the activity of the SIRT proteins?" To begin answering this question we must outline some of the biology of living cells, this will take a few sentences. Cells are the building blocks of all living organisms and the organisation of individual cells into organs and organ systems enables complete organisms to function independently in their environment. The organelles
