Nature vs. Nurture


Do You Have Good Genes or Bad Genes...Or Does It Matter?

That old "Nature vs Nurture," "Genes vs Environment" question.  At Conveniently Natural, we are not doctors, but we support the epigenetic theory that while genes do control biochemistry and physiology, they have no autonomy regarding whether or not they get read or expressed.  What controls the expression of genes is determined by environment - specifically what we eat, how we move, and how we think.  See research links below and research for yourself!

The purpose of this email is not to discuss the validity of the epigenetic theory, but rather to encourage thought about how YOU live your lifestyle.  Whether or not it is true that you can impact your health by how you choose to live...
Isn't it more powerful to believe that what you do makes a difference in the outcome of your life?
