A Healthy Life Style Triggers Genetic Changes
Research from the MacArthur Foundation found that quality of life is dependent on 30% of your genetic makeup as opposed to 70% of your lifestyle choices. Just because your aging parents or grandparents may be suffering with a disease, this does not have to happen to you. Stop blaming your genes and change your lifestyle.
