Teens Can Overcome Genetic Obesity with Exercise

For a few, keeping obesity at bay is a breeze, for some it takes a healthy diet and a bit of will power, and for others it may take diet, will power and exercise. For those who are predisposed, due to genetics, that last factor can be crucial, and make all the difference on the scale.
Genetics play a big role in much of our development, but social influences can mold us in ways that better our lives. While you may be born with a fat mass-and-obesity-associated gene (FTO), a new study shows that you can negate the effects as a teenager through an hour a day of exercise.
