I believe that health lies within each and every one of us. Health can not be bought at the supermarket or drug store. It has been said “if health came in a bottle, there would be a shortage of bottles”. The truth is that it is each and every individuals responsibility to do the things necessary to reach and maintain a healthy state. People would like to “blame” their lack of health on their genetic makeup or state their health as “lucky”. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, while we may have a genetic predisposition toward health, it is our environment that we create for ourselves that is responsible for how our genes are expressed.
