 This is one of  the most significant research about the effect of lifestyle on genes.  Although we have no double lifestyle will change gene behavior, we are still somewhat surprised about how huge and widespread a lifestyle change can influence gene expression.  So let's take control of our own destiny - lifestyle by practising YBM Life!, so that we can stay young and vibrant for a long long time!

 

Here's a quote from the article: 

More than 500 genes changed the way they worked. Genes with
beneficial effects, including some tumor-suppression genes, became more
active. Genes with deleterious effects, including some cancer-promoting
genes, were switched off.

"It is absolutely intriguing this
lifestyle change can have as much effect as the most powerful drugs
available to us now," Haqq said in a news conference. "We medical
oncologists are always looking for drugs that can do this. It is
delightful to find that diet and lifestyle can have profound effects
and work as well as drug therapies with fewer side effects."
