Nature Versus Nuture, The Debate Continues

The nature versus nurture debate is an old one, and yet it has no entirely correct answer. Are we simply a product of the genes we were dealt at birth? Or do we have the capacity to go far beyond the potential of our genes. First, it should be noted that our genes define the limitations of our bodies, but those limitations have a huge parameter. We can be of average strength, or we can train and condition ourselves to lift five hundred pounds! We will never lift as much as a gorilla can though, because they are genetically built to be stronger. We can never be as strong as a draft horse or an elephant either, but we can certainly far exceed "average" human capabilities. The same goes with intelligence and human longevity. You can become educated to know as much as the smartest people on earth. A person of average intelligence can rise to above average intellectual capability simply through learning. I personally went through twelve years of college and feel I know quite a lot. In terms of longevity, you are genetically built to last one hundred and fifty years. You lose half those years by overeating and speeding up your metabolism. The current pandemic of obesity today is so prevalent, that nobody even notices it. A "Dancing With The Stars" contestant claimed "She is not fat". Looking at her, she clearly is. She has a big belly and big thighs. Maybe she thinks she isn't fat, but to those of us who know bariatrics, she is. So how do we train and condition ourselves to live to 150 years old? Simply buy my book and learn the methods I teach in it. It's the best investment in life on the market!
