Research shows that genetics play a role in obesity as well. So those people who have obesity genes should be really careful with the kind of foods they eat especially junk food.

What is a gene compared to DNA?
A gene is a segment of DNA that is passed down from parents to children and confers a trait to the offspring. Genes are organized and packaged in units called “chromosomes.” Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
I had the 23andme test done a couple of months ago. I think we can be predisposed to certain diseases and or health related problems. What about nature vs nurture. You can take the same person and have them grow up in a healthy lifestyle and unless they find out the predisposition they could live a healthy life.
most people tend to lose and gain weight easily, notwithstanding great diet and lifestyle choices can keep one in great shape and size.
P.S. you dont have to be broomstick thin
Agree! There can bee extremely unhealthy thin people as well! Mind body and soul!
Yea that's true, nature vs nurture. We might have gotten our physical features identical to that of our parents but our environment and lifestyle will have a lasting influence to the way we behave and respond to things pertaining to us
