"Your Genes aren't your fate..."
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/control-lifestyle-genes/
Read this - then think - and then rinse and repeat...
Genes become the excuse for everything and as powerful as they are they are only "switches" to a certain extent. (Could get into a very deep rabbit hole here of quantum physics and wave vs. particle type of discussion in relation to gene expression but let's keep it simple shall we...)
We influence which position the "switches" (ie. our genes) are in by the lifestyle we lead.
Very interesting stuff

Brett,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! Keep it healthy.
Mark,
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you stop by - your blog is one of the only I check on a daily basis.

Good info!
ReplyDeleteI think of genetics as the cards you are dealt. We may not be able to throw them back and get new ones (yet), but we can control how we play them--so that should be our focus.
Rock on
