Do You Know That Your Predisposition to Keep Weight Can Be Changed on a Genetic Level?

According to studies posted in Science Daily, if your parents are both obese, chances are you will have the propensity for obesity in your genes. This is not just because you are raised eating the same things and leading similar inactive lifestyles (although that does play a part) It is due to changes in your genes called epigenetics. You may have markers for obesity in your genes due to your parents and grandparents lifestyle choices. This discovery was revolutionary when it was first made because previously it was believed that changes to genes take a significantly larger time. (More than can be measured in a lifetime.) The good news is, if these genes can be “switched on” so to speak, they may be able to also be switched off. And even if you come from a line of obese ancestors, your lifestyle choices will still play a stronger role in your shape than your genetics. Your genes may make you have to work harder than others, but the longer you live a healthy lifestyle the easier the change will come. There have also been studies that indicate nutritional supplements, low stress, exercise and lifestyle changes can turn off this obesity switch.
