Who makes you fat? You or your fat genes?

Many people say to me: "I have a bad genetic . All my family is fat and that's why I am fat! There is something wrong with my genes."

But let's be real and take a look at medical studies.

Have you ever heard about twin studies, when they take identical twins, separate them and expose them to different foods and lifestyle choices?
In those research studies it was revealed that when identical twins - those
with the exact DNA - were separated, they did not develop the same
health issues. As you can see one twin got fat and the other one did not get fat!

It's what your genes are exposed to that determines the level of
health that one has. It's the signals that you send to your body by
the food you eat, the thoughts you think, the way you exercise (your activity level), and the life-style choices that you make that affect the health of your genes.

Your actions, not only your genes, influence your life to a very large extent.

People who lead mentally stimulating lives, through education,
occupation, and even leisure activities, have a reduced risk of losing
their mental powers and developing Alzheimer's.

Studies suggest that they have a 35-40 % less risk of getting the
disease. Add to that physical exercise, the right nutrition, and stress-busting techniques, such as regular meditation, and your risk of developing this most dreaded illness drops to as close to zero as is possible.


So not only that you will not develop Alzheimer's disease if you change your lifestyle, you will also stay fit and reduce risk of obesity if you exercise, change the way you eat and lead an active lifestyle.

My question to you is: Did You Inherit "Fat Genes"? or your actions influenced your genes?

Sometimes we are very fast to blame someone for our mistakes. But it's us who make it happen.
