How Long and Healthy You Live is 90% Lifestyle and Environment - Not Genetics.

Longevity is influenced by genetics, which was once thought to account for 20-30% of the variation in lifespan, but more recent studies have shown that it only accounts for 10% (Ruby et al., 2018).

Essentially, this means that lifestyle and environment account for as much as 90% of one’s longevity.

If your relatives weren’t living pro-longevity (healthy) lifestyles, you have the power to buck that trend and live substantially longer and healthier than your relatives.

“Each bite of food we eat has the potential to modulate our genetics and impact every cell of the body—don’t you want those levers to be moving in the right direction? Eating for health is one thing, but eating to beat disease is an even more intentional step toward prevention and longevity.” ~
