The greatest gift on earth is a set of healthy genes.

But what if you were one of the unlucky ones to inherit "bad genes"? Are you and all your future offspring screwed for life?

Fortunately, that does not seem to be case.

Epigentics helps us understand that the human genome is not static thing you are born with — but rather is an evolving thing that expresses itself based on the environment you put them in.

Epigenetic researchers show that our genes react to everything we eat, breathe, or do.

A majority of people’s medical problems aren’t inherited. Rather, they arise from environmental factors that force good genes to behave badly by switching them on and off at the wrong time.

Bottom line: You can control the health of our genes by giving them an optimal environment to thrive in, starting first and foremost with your diet.
