Episode 26: Epigenetics
We KNOW that Knowledge is the "foreplay" to your Wellness, so we want to make sure you are equipped to be your OWN Super Hero in your wellness journey! Equipping you with the KNOWLEDGE you need to have the HEALTH you so desire!
1. WHAT IS EPIGENETICS? The study of how Genes/DNA can be influenced, for a different expression, by your behaviors and environment.
2. WHY IS UNDERSTANDING IT IMPORTANT? Awareness is power and gives you the knowledge that your choices matter. -Where you live, who you associate with, the air you breathe and water you drink... even the thoughts you think and habits you have, can influence the way your genes express themselves.
3. HOW DO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER TOXINS FIT INTO EPIGENETICS? Ground water is susceptible to pollutants: road salt, toxic substances from mining sites and even used motor oil may seep into groundwater. It is even possible for untreated waste from septic tanks and toxic chemicals from underground storage tanks and leaky landfills to contaminate groundwater. The air we breathe: Whether it comes from your car's exhaust pipe, dirty smokestacks or a forest fire, air pollution can be deadly and cause extremely negative gene expression. Screen time: Overstimulation by blue lights, EMF’s, 5G etc. More to come on a future episode.
4. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF EPIGENETICS? - The immediate effects of drinking polluted water can include contraction of cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery while the long-term effects include serious damage to the kidney, liver, bone and brain. Toxic air pollutants pose different risks to health depending on the specific pollutants, including: Cancer, including lung, kidney, bone, stomach, Harm to the nervous system and brain. Birth defects, Irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, Coughing and wheezing-Impaired lung function, Harm to the cardiovascular system and Reduced fertility. Habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol can have extremely negative results while exercise can have very good influence over your genes. Jim Rohn said, You become the average of the 5 people you hang around most. Are they positive or negative? Do they think BIG or small? Are they health conscious or not? Are they rich or poor (monetarily, dreams, goals, contribution)? What you think about, you BRING about! Don’t dwell on your past, but the possibilities of the future! Dream BIG, FASTER!! Join us for Episode 27 where we will be talking about Nutrigenomics and how you can eat your way to positive genetic expressions. Equipping you with the KNOWLEDGE you need to have the HEALTH you so desire! #WellnessFourPlay #ProactiveWellness #Epigenetics #Attitudes #Habits #Environment #TheBiohackingTeam #EmpoweredWellness #wellness
