Genes have a little to do with your eventual health, but it's primarily your own choices, along with how you were raised as children, possibly adopting bad health habits. Good health can be had no matter your DNA, as has been proven millions of times. People get fat because they eat bad,along with a sedentary lifestyle. This is what I've been involved with for 50 years, and I'm not wrong. Yes, of course, genes can be turned on and off, so to speak,.This mechanism, often governed by epigenetics, dictates when genes produce proteins (on) or remain silent (off). It is crucial for development, allowing cells to differentiate and react to environmental factors like diet and stress without changing the DNA sequence itself. And, Environmental Factors: External factors like lifestyle, smoking, diet, and stress can influence which genes turn on or off. This means no matter your DNA, you can have a healthy lifestyle and body. Your metabolism might be set, but your choices in lifestyle are what makes you lean or fat. Again, you don't know what your genes are, even if you think you're somehow superior, as you haven't hit the age where things change yet. Some get it younger, in their 30's, and some later, in their 50' s and 60's, but it's coming. The only way to combat most of this is through a healthy Blue Zone diet, as those who adopt it live longer and healthier than most anyone else on earth, and they come from thousands of gene pools and backgrounds. I have seen countless cases while a trainer of people whom are in their 40's through 60's, who are very fit and healthy, while their parents passed very young, in their 50's, from all sorts of health related diseases. You are your parents in some ways, but in most, your choices are how your health goes, especially if you adopted healthy practices watching your parents. Telling people who are in bad health not to have children is acting like you're God, and you have no bearing on anyone on earth besides yourself and some of the life of your children, who will also eventually choose their own way of living, no matter if yours is not healthy.
