Is There a Laziness Gene?


Posted by BeWell A.

Have you ever wondered why you can't get off the couch and exercise — despite paying for an expensive gym membership, despite your New Year's resolutions, even despite the doctor's scolding at your last checkup? Turns out that your inertia may be coded right into your genes.

I hope this study doesn't give people another excuse to stay in their recliner instead of working out.

i think it may be possible.because every thing of an animal is ultimately controlled by genes.

and it is becoming now clear that our behaviour is controlled by our genes.

so your thought can be possible.
