Even if all your ancestors were "people in the body" - do not despair, this is not a sentence for lifelong "heaviness". The genetic predisposition to obesity can be reduced by an average of 40% by increasing physical activity, established the British Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit.

Experts analyzed data for more than 20 thousand. And examined 12 different genetic variants, which, according to research, increase the risk of obesity, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists have checked how many of these gene variants are inherited from both parents of participants, and then evaluated the overall genetic predisposition to the disease, summarizing the number of innate genetic variants. Most people inherited from 10 to 13 variants of "thick genes", but some - more than 17 variants, and others - less than six.

It was recorded that each additional genetic variant was associated with an increase in the body mass index equivalent to 445 grams for a man of average height / 1 m.

70 cm. / And this effect was greater in people with a passive lifestyle. Physically active people are at 36-40% less gained excess body weight for genetic reasons. The findings of the study indicate that even people with a high genetic predisposition to obesity can derive substantial health benefits from exercise. Laziness and gluttony are more likely to lead to excess weight than predisposition, doctors conclude.
