Motivation: Change your genetics

I know. I love a good, "But it's all in my genes" excuse just as much as the next guy. Or gal. Who doesn't enjoy a little good, old fashioned biological predestination along with their morning smoothie?
Alas, another study has come out showing that simple lifestyle changes can dramatically CHANGE our genes for the better. A measly 3 months of eating plants, exercising and stress reduction "turned off" 453 genes and "turned on" 48. Dig it:

How cool is that?

The study was done by Dr. Dean Ornish.
