Changing Your Lifestyle Can Change Your Genes

I've been hearing alot about genetics lately. I'm sure you have as well, it's all over the news.

I hear a lot of people talk about sickness and disease due to the genes that they've inherited. Do you think that we are having more cancer, more diabetes, more heart disease, more brain disfunction, more of everything because our genes are bad?

If you ask any geneticist, we have about the same genes that we started with over 500 generations ago.

Then how come so many people talk about genetics causing their health problems?

I believe most people have been caught up in the blame game, instead of comparing our ancestors lifestyle to our current lifestyle, some peoeple believe that we are just unlucky.

Well in this Newsweek article posted by Dr. Dean Ornish , he describes a study recently completed about how improveing eating habits, stress managemnet techniques, exercise routines, and other non-invasive methods can change an individuals genetic expression.

In other words how you eat, move and think improves your genetics and health!!

Could you possibly agree that since the inventions of computers, mirowaves, television, big mac's, processed foods, chemical industry, etc that our bodies have an increased burden and therefore our genes have to respond differently due to our environment.

This environment consists of a lack of exercise, lack of good nutrients, lack of appropraite mental health and an over abundace of polluntants, chemicals, sugars, and medications.

We need to discover two things to achieve health and wellness.

1. Finding out what our body requires: Purity and sufficeincy
2. Riding of what pollutes our body: Deficencies and toxicities

The process of finding out what is toxic, pure, deficient or sufficent can be a challenge. But aren't you worth it!!
