Genetic makeup refers to the genes that determine what you look like and what physical characteristics you have. They are your GENOTYPE, and when these genes are expressed (the color of your eyes, your blood type, your hair texture, the structure of your digestive enzymes, etc), you are showing your PHENOTYPE.
A Healthy Lifestyle Supports Healthy Genetic Expression. So the good news is that you are in control of your genes â¦ You can alter them on a regular basis, depending on the foods you eat, the air you breathe, and the thoughts you think.
