In the genes

our family’s health history is an important factor in your own health journey. Some of our genetic inheritance is set in stone. For example, eye and hair colour, height and bone structure are With the exception of a few specific diseases, your genes are not your fate. By far the most significant determinant of your health is how you eat, drink, sleep and move your body. These things change the way your genes behave, switching them either on or off. So, if you watched your mum struggle with type-2 diabetes or your dad had a heart attack before his time, consider the positive actions you could take to prevent, to the best of your ability, the same situation. Get help from a health professional if you need to, and remember: the power to change your health lies with you.
