Activate Your Young Genes

DNA is our personal genetic code. It is made up of thousands of genes we receive from our parents. Scientists finished mapping the human genome in 2003. This information has taught us that very little of our DNA is active at any given time.

There are groups of “young genes” generally turned on in young people, but become inactive as we age. Others called “old genes” are inactive in our youth, but turn on as we age. Research is showing that many of our young genes can be turned back on through implementing habits of health. We have actually discovered the fountain of youth!
