Your environment

According to science, your zip code turns out to be more important as determinant of your health than your genetic code

​

Your friends and your social network is a bigger determinant of your health than your family

​

You have more chance to be obese if your friends are obese than if your parents are

​

90% of disease is determined by the exposome (the world you are exposed to, like : what you eat, the exercise you practice, your stress resilience, your exposure to environmental toxins)

​

You cannot change your genes but you can change how those genes work, which one are turned on or off by changing your exposome.

​

There is 5 causes of all disease :

 

  1. toxins

  2. allergens

  3. microbes

  4. poor diet 

  5. stresses
