We are not born with certain predetermined genetic coding that directs or overrides any preferred choices we have or desire in our lifetime. Darwin had it half right, we do pass on our DNA code to our children and much has stemmed from and is used from this theory in applicable day-to-day scenarios. But we have the choice to win the ‘survival of the fittest’ game.
We are NOT predetermined to live with any genetic coding flaw within our DNA code. What? …you say. What Darwin left out is the environment in which each of us chooses to live. Our bodies are so extremely complex and skilled that we do not yet know all there is about how quickly our bodies are responding to the environment in which we find ourselves. Are we predisposed to one disease or obesity or illness? Well, only if we place ourselves in an environment that is conducive to ‘activating’ the proteins and genes in our body to respond in this manner. In other words, the DNA is there, the ‘potential’ for any disease is there, now its up to us to live and treat our bodies well or live and treat our bodies abusively. This conversation can take many directions, but for now, lets thinks of it as ‘garbage in – garbage must be dealt with’. If we place ourselves in an environment that forces our bodies to activate illness, that is what we are going to create and experience. We are NOT going to simply get ill because of our DNA or ‘genes’.
We control the outcome and the way we do is to stay as well kept as possible. Balance your intake of healthy foods and antioxidant supplements, exercise (move your body!), live and play in good, healthy environments and your environment will direct your DNA and only good genes will be activated.
