Nutrition and Disease
Many of us fault our genes as the reason for our health problems. Medical doctors do the same. They find it easy to put the blame on our genes, instead of figuring out how we acquired the disease. It is true that our genes play a major role in how our body functions and respond to foreign invaders. But that is just half of the story.

My husband could not see the other person but the one asking the person was an overweight woman. She asked, “How do you stay so thin, please tell me the secret? Although the response from the other person was not audible to where my husband was seated, he assumed it must have been, “Stop eating and exercise”.
