Lifestyle Choices Can Physically Alter Genes: Study | Vantage with Palki Sharma

According to a recent study, healthy lifestyle can offset genetics by 62% and add five years to one’s lifespan irrespective of poor genetics. Similarly, unhealthy lifestyle increases the risk of early death by 78% irrespective of healthy genes. Every year, 41 million people die globally due to poor genetics and lifestyles. This is 74% of all deaths globally. Lifestyle choices can influence how genes function. They can physically alter our genes. After all, the human genome is dynamic. Meaning, genes can become active depending on the signals they receive from the body. So how can your self-engineer your genes? Palki Sharma tells you in this report.

there should be restrictions on price of junk food. they are too cheap. healthy foods have become expensive.

I learned how to turn on & off genes a few yrs back. It's really great. Understand that ur environment, food, water, sunlight, rest, what u listen to, what u pay attention to, how u breathe, how u treat others, ect... plays the part of certain gene expressions.

Palki is so eloquent. She expresses her thoughts so beautifully. ..very much inspired by her..I don't want to demoralize other women journalists by taking names however they should take notes from Palki and talk about real problems instead of aggravating people in the name of religion.

Wow it is called epigenetics.thank you for this interesting news on this.

Nobody, I say nobody should be planning or thinking about living longer. Short happy life is better than a few year extra.

Excellent that's what i wanted to hear

[rajeshkumarsanghai]

I think one should follow tradiontional Indian lifestyle . Follow the Dharma principles, to live discriminating/choosing between Shreyas and Preyas .

[parakramasubasinghe]

Thank you very much for espousing those facts and reality which I have understood for some time and most people not believing. Diabetic and other common sicknesses, many people believing that comes from genes and as you explained those sicknesses mainly due to lifestyle matters. Example like many families follow their parent's and grandparent's eating habits and lifestyles. No wonder they get same problems. Better not to blame only genes anymore. ❤😊

[debacharya]

Hi Palki, I like to listen to your youtube videos in Firstpost and before in WION. I like them depending on the content. However, I always like your presentation of the content. Thank you for the same!

[rajanadhikari]

You are explaining "Epigenetics." Epigenetics is how your environment influences your genes without changing their actual code.
