Who Knew?

Dis-Ease Is Not in Your DNA By Bentley Murdock

Way too many of us have become entirely deceived by the believable story that somehow our disease symptoms are all part of our delicate strands of unique and irreversible DNA.

However... here’s a news flash: Disease symptoms are not genetic, and they are not hereditary. The aspects which most definitely do get passed down from generation to generation are all of the daily behaviors, quirks, habits, meal-plans, snacking addictions, emotional eating routines, cultural holiday celebrations, and culinary rituals. These have all culminated over time to collectively define the very lives (and deaths) of all those who have gone before us. And many of us are painfully and ironically unaware of the obvious patterns and cycles of familial culture continuity. To put it bluntly, if you’d rather not be confined by any of the undesirable physical outcomes of your progenitors, you’re not alone. Know this: The power resides entirely in your own mind and hands to change the physical health experiences and quality-oflongevity outcomes for the finite future of your tangible body. #FoodForThought =:o)

Here are a few tried and true approaches to more than distance yourself from the most common disease symptoms that plague millions of Americans today. You don’t have to become a statistic by default of ignorance. All it takes is a daily dance I like to call “Less o’ this! More o’ that!” Diabetes, Blood Sugar, Insulin, and Pancreas Malfunction Issues Less: Refined sugars, artificial and synthetic sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, zero calorie sweeteners, Splenda, Sweet ‘n Low, “sugar-free” chemical sweeteners, “diet” soda, preservatives and additives, refined grains, animal products, saturated fat, refined carbs and starches, processed sweets and meats, eggs, and dairy products. 24 www.saintgeorgewellness.com
