Remember Miss Huang Xiaozhen do? Bama after she moved to Bose, body fat, physical decline, began to fall ill. Her genes did not change, is more than two hours by car away from the environment and life has changed. In Bama, almost no fat people, while in Baise, fat people everywhere. From Bama to take about four hours drive from Nanning, the two places have a difference of incidence of high blood lipids more than 20 times. In the “ecological longevity America,” a book, academics Bama students and Huang Mou Huang Bing reported that a survey found that nearly 20% of Nanning were people with high blood lipids, while Bama has a high lipid problems, the less than 1 %. (2006, p. 43-44 pages)

The township a little more than 50 years old, went to school farmer told me, “In the past young people with no problems, the elderly only with a fever, is now bone hyperplasia, arthritis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis and cancer and other abnormal more and more. “Bama people’s genes have not changed, but their production and way of life has changed. He went on to say, “We here (in the last century), the eighties, on chemical fertilizers, pesticides and feed nineties began. Many people in the eighties and sick, to the nineties more and more variety of abnormal more. “

Similar, but worse than the story takes place in another well-known in the world longevity – Pakistan Hanshi. Hanshi at the foot of the Himalayas, the ancient Silk Road through the mountains into the 20th century in the West 60s is the world’s longevity doctors found that when there are no hospitals, no pharmacy, no roads, some beautiful natural environment and health and longevity of the residents. However, in the 20th century, 70 years, pass a road across the mountains into the valley of Hanshi, Han Shi began to change people’s destiny. When the white sugar, white bread, white rice, refined vegetable oil, cola, coffee and wine in the introduction of junk food and drink just six months later, Han Shi’s health condition began to deteriorate.

In the United States best-selling book Outliers: The Story
of Success , the author Malcolm Gladwell said in the introduction, in the late 19th century, Rome, Italy there is a village in south-eastern suburb called “Rosetta map” (Roseto). Because people living in poverty, the villagers left the home in droves to come to the United States, Pennsylvania, in the end, “Ban Gang” (Bangor) settled near the village. They began their own to build a house, farming, pig farming, the construction of schools and churches, forming an almost isolated communities – Rosetta Figure Township. The 20th century, 50 years, local doctors discovered Rosetta chart and rural residents in the 55-year-old had not heart disease after the age of 65 the incidence of heart disease throughout the United States an average of only half the incidence of. The researchers also found that immigrants to the United States plan the rest of Rosay’s physical condition is as bad as with ordinary Americans. In other words, Pennsylvania Rosetta’s excellent state of health plans do not come from their specific genes.

Indeed, genetic defects can lead to disease, but the real people who have genetic diseases, the total population of less than 5%. Gene is relatively stable, the evolution of thousands of years less than one ten-thousandth, while the ever-changing conditions. Even hereditary diseases, the real reason is not usually genetic, but the placenta environment. Genetic inheritance can influence the health and life expectancy, but the World Health Organization believes that the role of the genetic average of only 15%, environment and lifestyle are the determinants of health.

Genes are the blueprint of life, or procedures, but it is only a number of “if … then …” in terms of instruction set, it is necessary to express the environment and achieve. In other words, genes are a set of plans, as the case may be, as the rain open the umbrella (implementation plan A), it does not rain is not open the umbrella (implementation plan B). A different environment will produce different gene expression and the final results, the formation of different life trajectories. Is the so-called “Orange Health Huainan was orange, was born in Huaibei, compared with trifoliate orange.” Therefore, the gene is not entirely the direct control of health, its impact on health is largely achieved through the role of the environment.

So, how is the specific impact of environment, human health and longevity of it? (To be continued) my recent play Sina micro-Bo, cool, very trendy.
