Could your nutrition (what you eat) change your genetic background and make you live longer? In other words: change your "destiny"? How important is your nutrition in avoiding hereditary diseases? There is a doctor who says that being vegan is everything and you "could not die". For me this is bullshit and that being vegan can only help you to a certain point and in the end, your genes are the master of your destiny. Could a scientist in this blog help with these questions?? Thank you so much
One's genetic background is only a probability figure. One's nutrition and general health measures can and often does counteract one's genetic probability. My health measures are paramount to me.

                                        Nutrition won't change the genetic background. Ionizing radiation may, in a fully unpredictable manner.
The science of nutrition is rapidly growing and changing. There are a lot of unknown areas.
Looks like, in general, genes won't determine a patient's lifespan and illnesses but rather make some outcomes more or less likely.  Proper nutrition and lifestyle may decrease the probability of negative outcomes.
