Epigenetics

"Having a "cancer program" in your DNA does not automatically mean you're destined to get cancer. Far from it. This genetic information does not ever have to be expressed..."

"What this all means is that you are not controlled by your genetic makeup. Instead, your genetic readout (which genes are turned "on" and which are turned "off") is primarily determined by your thOUghts, aTTitUdEs, and PeRcEpTiOnS!"

This reminds me of the great Jewish Chassidic master, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov who emphasized living life with joy and happiness. Now, how each person needs to this may be different.

Growing up in a particular family, neighborhood, culture does not need to determine our future. How important it is to surround one self with positive energy and positive people. Even if that means going against the grain!!

So, in addition to a healthy lifestyle, ie. proper nutrition and exercise, our thoughts and beliefs can really affect our health.

Here is one good thought:

We were created by G-d and being created by Him at every second. Again and again, He wills that we should exist in His world to receive His good. And there is good....

He loves us so much.

G-d bless!!
