" Our current state of health is almost entirely the result of 5 factors:
• diet
• physical activity
• amount of sleep
• DNA
• the environment
Except for DNA (e.g. sex, race) and various aspects of our immediate environment, these facets of life are under our voluntary control. Altogether, they produce a net rate of “wear and tear” on the body or something referred to as “stress”.
Stress is ultimately responsible for our:
• bodyweight
• body composition
• state of health
• rate of aging
and your METABOLIC STATE (there’s 7!)
