I Forgot About DARWIN and Evolution

Posted by Risan | December 18, 2008 .

I just finished reading a book titled “Why We Get Sick-The New Science of Darwinian Medicine by Randolph Nesse, M.D. and George WIlliams, Ph.D.

Wow!

What a great book—It really opened my eyes about the reality of our lives.

If you have been reading my posts, I’m sure you have come upon my TRIANGLE OF HEALTH Concept where I speak of the three ingredients to health and longevity. 

They are:

  1. Proper Exercise
  2. Proper Nutrition
  3. Attitude and Mental Health

If you’ll apply those 3 concepts to your life, I guarantee that you’ll maximize your potential to a good-strong-healthy-rewarding lifetime.

But here’s where I missed one key ingredient.

Namely, it’s your GENETICS that ultimately determine your destiny….See, if you have a gene that’s programmed to fail when you reach 60, then all the good food, exercise, and attitude won’t change the failure of that gene, and unfortunately your health and longevity will suffer.

So again, all we can do are those things that will maximize our potential for health…eat right, exercise, and have the right attitude.  And when it’s our time to go,  well there’s not much we can do to change it—but at least we will have lived our lives to the fullest. 

So, therefore, I am re-doing my triangle of health concept. 

My triangle now is balanced on a pole made up of our genetics. The repesentation is that if our pole of support is pre-destined to fail, or break, or fall at a certain time, then the whole of life fails with it.  Kinda scary, but that’s the reality.

Get the book. It’s not a hard read and once you start, you’ll have trouble putting it down.
