Welcome back everyone! In today’s news, we want to learn about how your lifestyle may be more important than your genes when it comes to your health.
Studies in the new field of Epigenetics are showing lifestyle factors can override any limitations of your genes. The term epigenetics means “above” genetics, the external modifications to DNA that turn genes on or off.
You inherit your genetic makeup from your parents, but many factors during your lifetime can turn your negative genes off and your positive on. Researchers found that a lifetime of exercise is likely to give you the body characteristics of a healthy athlete, while an inactive lifestyle can give you body characteristics associated with increased risk for many diseases.
Research is showing regardless of your genetic build, you can improve your health and prolong your life by:
- Exercising every day
- Controlling excess weight gain
- Eating a healthful diet that includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, beans, and seeds
- Avoiding smoking
- Restricting alcohol
- Getting regular chiropractic care
