A fascinating reproduction of a Dr. Mercola article on how the new science of epigenetics is challenging our conventional view of genetics, proving that the environment determines which traits a gene will express, and that your fate is in no way written in stone even if you have genetic predispositions. Findings such as these offer tremendous amounts of hope for every single one of us, as it removes us from the position of victims of our heredity, and makes us masters of our own health and well-being. How can we do this? Eat right, exercise and managing our emotional stress.
