Who Says You Can’t Choose Your Parents?

We are products of our parents and our genetic make-up is predetermined-or is it? Dr. Dean Ornish, in his book The Spectrum, has determined through his research “that you can actually change how your genes are expressed just by changing what you eat and how you live”. So for those of us that are predisposed to certain health risks, we can “turn off” those bad genes and “turn on” our disease preventing genes. Dean goes on to say that the more changes you make, the more your genes will adapt. This is an incredible scientific breakthrough that really empowers us to have the health we choose, regardless of how our parents made us. BTW, the changes Dean promoted were exercise, healthy eating and meditation.
