Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Our thoughts are hard to control, but our behavior can affect our genes. Our behaviors come from our thoughts- what we choose to do or not to do. Just because a gene has is passed down does not mean it has to be activated. Some genes, such as hair color or eye color, are genes that we don’t choose to activate or not activate. Some other genes can be activated or deactivated by your decisions, by your environment, and by your experiences.
