Genes - #17804
For a long time, I’ve been curious about how genes influence our health, physical appearance, and even certain diseases. I recently found out that some health conditions, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even skin disorders, can run in families. This made me wonder—how much of our health is actually controlled by genes, and how much is influenced by diet, lifestyle, and environment? I have seen cases where two siblings in the same family grow up eating the same food and following the same routine, but one develops a health condition while the other remains healthy. If genes are responsible for passing down traits and diseases, does that mean we have no control over certain health issues? Or can Ayurveda help modify genetic tendencies through diet and natural treatments? Doctor, I want to understand how Ayurveda views genes and whether hereditary diseases can be prevented or managed naturally. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help in reducing the impact of negative genetic traits? Can certain foods or detox therapies change how genes express themselves in the body? I have also heard that stress and mental health can affect genes and be passed down to future generations. Does Ayurveda recommend any specific lifestyle changes to maintain healthy genes and avoid inherited health issues? Please guide me on how Ayurveda explains the role of genes in health and whether natural remedies can modify genetic tendencies to promote overall well-being.
