Every human being comprises from several billion tiny cells that together form the tissue of out organism. Each cell has a core in which, by rough estimate, there are 30, 000 different genes that control most properties and mechanisms in your organism. There are, for example, genes that determine the color of your eyes, genes that determine how tall are you, gene that are responsible for digestion of certain food and genes that are responsible for functioning of nervous cells in your brain.
All genes, as a whole, form a unique individual imprint of each person. Unfortunately, our genes can be faulty and each of us possesses certain genetic deficiencies which we inherited from our parents, or were created by accident, and can negatively influence our health. For example, women according to the length of their hands can determine if they have increased risk from Alzheimer’s disease, and purple half moon at the root of a finger nail can point to the increased risk of a stroke. Large stomach can point to the increased risk from dementia, and loss of smell points to risk from Parkinson’s disease.
10THE FIGHTING GENE
Shorter copies of the MAOA gene result in higher levels of aggression. The gene is linked to serious offense like arson and murder.
09THE LEFT HAND GENE
Those carrying the LRRTM1 gene are more likely to become left- handed, a trait linked with high achievers.
08THE DRUNK GENE
The CYP2E1 gene appears to dictate how fast someone gets drunk. Up to 20 percent of people could have a version of the gene that gets them drunk quicker.
07THE MENTAL ILLNESS GENE
The PDE4B gene is involved in brain development and memory. Damage to PDE4B increases the risk of suffering from manic depression or schizophrenia.
06THE OLD AGE ENE
People who have a certain variant of the CETP gene are twice as likely to live to 100 years of age.
05THE MEAN GENE
The mean gene is a short version of the AVPR1A gene affect vasopressin receptors in the brain. This can make people more selfish.
04THE ADDICTION GENE
The A1 allele of the gene DRD2 linked to addiction. People suffering from alcoholism or gambling addiction are more likely to possess it.
03THE SOCIAL GENE
The oxytocin receptor gene is linked to social behavior. Those with the “GG” variant are more friendly and are viewed as more caring by others.
02THE INFIDELITY GENE
Versions of the AVPR1A gene can increase the chances of some men cheating on their partners. Carriers are twice as likely to suffer relationship issues.
01THE ATGENE
People with two copies of the FTO GENE tend to weight more. They are 70 percent more likely to become obese than those with no copies.
