It's Not In The Genes - It's In The Mind: One doctor's look at the miracle between your ears

Most people believe they will die from some disease...did you know that? It's true. The current statistics show that an overwhelming 87% of people believe they will die from either cancer or heart disease.

Here's the irony - of course, they will...but two hundred years ago, such thinking would have been next to impossible. Cancer and heart disease are relatively 'modern' ills. There are still societies that do not even have a word for "cancer" in their language!

So, what's the secret? How can you actually live longer, fuller, disease-free lives? Is that even a possibility? One doctor thinks so. In fact, he swears it's not in our 'genes' - it's in our perceptions.

This, from Dr. Bruce Lipton:

"Brace yourselves, for we are in for a wild ride. Frontier research in cell biology has finally acknowledged the mechanisms by which perception controls behavior, selects genes and can even lead to a rewriting of the genome. Rather than being the victims of our genes, we have been the victims of our perceptions. We are on the verge of a most radical and most wonderful upheaval of human civilization."

Bruce is not alone. Many researchers now give credit to negativity and stress as contributors, if not actual 'causes' of the majority of disease states, especially in people under 80 years of age.

Now, ask yourself this simple question: what if you were to change your beliefs? Could you change your physiology, down to the cellular matrix? It's my personal mission to reverse the current trend among we who want to be fit and healthy, and that is to focus first on exercise, second on nutrition and last, if at all, on our state of mind.

Folks, we have it exactly backwards. Find out more about the power of the mind over the body, and actually see for yourself the difference when you change your thinking, by picking up Fit Over 40 today. My entire second chapter is dedicated to this very subject.

It all begins in the universe between your ears.
