Genes Versus Environment in Health
Genes play a vital role in determining our health, but the environment we expose ourselves to is equally crucial. While genetic variations like MTHFR or COMT can influence our susceptibility to certain conditions, they should not be the sole focus. Our body's ability to withstand various challenges relies on a complex interplay of genes and environmental factors. Oversimplifying health interventions based solely on genetic information can lead to suboptimal outcomes.
