From: phil scott on 10 Jan 2010 23:23 This article is about epi-genetics... how to grow strong, oror weak. fast. An example: When I ceased working as a design builder of industrial equipment, much of it I put to together myself, welding, piping and wiring etc.... and began consulting, sitting in a cubicle.. drawing pretty pictures and waxing eloquently,. (for such as IBM, the US Dept of Energy etc) Doing that I LOST that entire gung ho, design builder, guttsy skill set... my metabolism slowed up, I got fat... ....and I developed an unreal view of life and my profession, my engineering ability suffered... I estimated jobs poorly etc ...... my health suffered, I developed heart trouble and diabetes, that was at age 58 its the first worlds primary disease as i see it... it is wall to wall common in the engineering business, Ive seen it coast to coast and in dozens of major corporations and government, it is possible for people to go totally out the bottom and keep breathing and drawing a pay check. Later.... As the economy tanked, I went back to the tools... beginning again in the building trades and some small equipment packages, It took me 5 years to rebuild a modicum of my former prowess with tools and trouble shooting, moxie and etc. It took 10 years to recover what I have of my health.. (Im more or less OK now for age 69, though I had to give up flat tracking.) Epi-gemetics Epi-genetics is the study of how this occurs,,, epi in this context means 'above or resting on top of' and you know what genetics means,... epigeneitics is the fine tuning of ones genetics by activity or lack of it.... and the quality of the activity and other environmental factors these are lightening fast acting drivers... immediate in some cases, and noticeable in hours at times. but not know to the average person or doctor, and even to most who study the area, these think it takes years,,, I am asserting it begins instantly and is ongoing,... it is just it takes years for the damage to become totally obvious. ones epi genetics changes from what I have seen in my own life and by observing business and industry and the post office sort of situations... fast.... then it is my view that ones actual genetics change, and the children changed by how the parent developed along those lines. *** a persons metabolism can be driven down in a day, in a few days neurons in the brain begin to loose touch with one another, within a year or two the person is severely debilitated. *** the drivers for this first up, as I began my career in the usual struggle,,,,, then hit an easy plateau, and went into decline,, is the well established main line science of epi- genetics. Search amazon for the the most recent books on the topic... there are late breaking new discoveries. My view and esperience has been that by staying active, facing challenges yourself, for instance do minor or major repairs on your own car or house, learn how to debug your own computer and if you run a business get out in the field at least a day a week and work wth the tools.... you can reverse these negative developments most associate with age,,,, but its not age entirely .... it is these drivers Ive mentioned playing a very large part, Politically,... ' if we give people an easy ride, take care of them from cradle to grave, the epi-genetic phenomena insures they will decline in performance, physically and economically along the same path...the entire nation then follows.... Even with hard working people ease, seen as a goal by many.... is actually destructive... my advice, stay in business (but not as a wage slave at the command of others for sure) and do physical work at least 8 hours a week, mentally challenging highly skilled work. that pays off, a man or woman can stay sharp and healthy that way..
