Did you know you can rewrite your genetic destiny?

What is epigenetics?

It is the study of heritable changes in gene expression without involving changes in the underlying DNA sequence. A change in phenotype without a change in genotype affects how cells read genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence. But, it can be affected by several factors including age, lifestyle, diet, environment and disease state.

Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee in an Instagram post shed light on the incredible impact our everyday choices can have on our genes. According to Mukerjee, the daily decisions you make about your diet and lifestyle have a profound effect on the expression of your genes. This is called epigenetics.” Epigenetics, as Mukerjee explains, is the understanding that our genes are not our sole destiny. Factors such as diet, lifestyle and environment play an important role in shaping our overall well-being.

Anjali Mukerjee further states that 90% of all signs of aging and disease are caused by poor diet and wrong lifestyle choices.

The world we create, both internally and externally, matters and has a significant impact on genes. Internally, it includes what we consume, the foods we eat and the liquids we drink.

Shedding light on external factors, Mukerjee asks: Are you living with toxic people? Are you causing toxic emotions in people? Do you live in unsanitary environments? Is there a lot of dust and mites, mold and fungus around you?” These external environmental factors, according to the nutritionist, can also affect your well-being.

Anjali Mukerjee points out that lifestyle and dietary choices matter more than DNA itself. They have the power to shape the way you look and feel for the next 30-50 years of your life.
