Fight the Fat Gene

Scientists believe they have found a gene that predisposes people to accumulating body fat and it is distributed widely throughout the population. But they also discovered that physical activity (exercise) can modify expression of the fat gene. In other words, genetics is not entirely fate. Healthy lifestyles make a difference and exercise (physical activity) does not have to be running and weightlifting. Eat more plant based whole foods and keep moving. And may the force be with you.
