The short answer is - no!

At most, you can inherit the potential to get a vision problem. But nothing is set in stone, even if all your parents and ancestors had the same vision problem. Here is why...

The field of studies that covers all of this is called Epigenetics. "Epi" is Greek for "above". So it's the study of everything that is 'above' genetics. That influences your genetic expression without changing your DNA.

According to NHI, the US National Library of Health, "Epigenetic changes can help determine whether genes are turned on or off and can influence the production of proteins in certain cells".

So let's back up - what do genes do?

The NHI puts it this way, "Segments of DNA called "genes" are the ingredients. Each gene adds a specific protein to the recipe. Proteins build, regulate, and maintain your body. For instance, they build bones, enable muscles to move, control digestion, and keep your heart beating."

So our genes are the blueprint for the protein that the body synthesizes. So genes are the reproductive organs of the cells. Not the brains. Because you can take all the genes out of a cell, and the cell will still continue to live. The only thing it can't do is reproduce.

The point is this - the Human Genome Project, the project that is working on mapping all the human genes, estimates that there are 20,000 - 25,000 genes. So, if genes were set in stone and each gene just has one expression, we should only have 20,000 - 25,000 different types of proteins in the body, correct?

It's simple math, isn't it?

But there are 50,000 - 2,000,000 different types of proteins in the human body. The estimates vary.

The point is, there are way more proteins than we have building blocks for. And that's where Epigenetics comes in. It's basically a fancy term for lifestyle and the environment influence your genes.

So genes can be turned on and off, as you can see the NHI states. The lifestyle and environment are the factors that cause the turning on and off. That means that the lifestyle you inherit is more important than the genes. Because it determines whether or not a potential in your genes is triggered.

Let me illustrate that for you with a bit of an embarrassing story...

I used to have really stinky feet. My father has them too. So all my childhood I was told that I inherited the stinky feet of my father. But when I changed my lifestyle and stopped eating blue cheese, my stinky feet disappeared.

So, did I inherit the stinky feet, or the potential to have stinky feet when I eat like him? It's the lifestyle and the same goes for your vision problems.

You see, it used to be spells. When you used to get sick, you had a spell on you in the Middle Ages.

Then science discovered viruses and bacteria. So everything from then on was due to viruses and bacteria.

Today it's genes.

It's always something you yourself can't change. You always need another person to help you with the problem. First a witch, then a doctor. But you are rendered powerless.

But that's not true!

Because you have the power to change and choose your environment, which means that you have the power to change the expression of your genes. That's an awesome thought, isn't it?

Always, to take your power back, you have to find out what in your lifestyle and environment is causing your vision problems. Because it's not your genes. You have the power to change it.

To help you do that, we created a free quiz. You'll find out exactly what in your lifestyle you have to change most urgently. Plus, you'll get a free, detailed report about what you can do to fix it.
