How much do your Genes affect your health?

It has been proved by repeated science experiments that you are a product of your genes. The genes that you get in part from each of your parents will influence a number of your own characteristics.  There are some genes that are stronger than others for instance you have a strong family nose or a typical jaw that runs through most family members.

This family resemblance is also thanks to the genes that you and your family share. The fact is that genes don’t just affect the way you look on the outside. They also affect you on a deeper level on the inside. Now scientists are trying to see just how the genes affect your health. There is a greater tendency for some diseases to be genetic.

Although it is not quite certain why some genes get passed on to create health and why some go on to make you sick, the fact is that genes do affect the state of your health. It could be something as simple as having sickle cell anemia because your parents passed you the genes. Or it could be a something more acute like a tendency to have a coronary disease.

The truth is that little is known as yet about the functioning of genes. Our present knowledge is basic and rudimentary. Everyday scientists are experimenting with new technology to learn more about the body and its secrets. It may be years before we complete this particular science project.
