Genes play a role in many of our behaviors, from the taste of alcohol to the wandering eye to the degree of exercise.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found that your DNA determines whether you like alcohol and even your preferred drink.
Claire Dunwell and Ife Taiwo reveal other traits you probably inherited. . .
You use coffee as a crutch
If you find it difficult to function without caffeine it's your genes. There is a possibility that
The theory was that they needed less to feel alert and happy than people dependent on coffee.
You let your eyes wander
One study found that sons of promiscuous fathers were twice as likely to cheat.
They removed the "raising" part from the study by placing the eggs in the nests of foster birds.
If the genetic parent exhibited 'extra mating behavior', so did the offspring.
You hate the gym
How many times have you heard that exercise makes you feel better?
If you lack the motivation to exercise, it's probably unavoidable.
Some of us may carry genes that block exercise-induced release of dopamine (the pleasure hormone), according to findings by researchers at the University of Georgia.
Another study published in Medicine & Science In Sports & Exercise found that about 25% of us have genetic traits that slow the production or reuptake of exercise-related dopamine. I understand. Work on unrewarded work.
Can't sleep
No matter what sleep hacks you try, you still can't getovernight kip?
Well, this could be inherited from your mother.
A study from the University of Warwick found that children of mothers with insomnia had less sleep and less sleep. However, if your father suffers from insomniathis will not have the same effect.
Further evidence is that we are genetically morning or night It shows that it is easy to become a mold. Researchers found that there are 351 spots in our genetic makeup that can affect our waking and sleeping habits.
A redhead with a high pain threshold
not only inherited ginger hair from her parents, but also tolerates pain better than blondes and brunettes.
Researchers at Aalborg University in Denmark injected human subjects with capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers, and found that red-haired people were able to tolerate spicy food and the discomfort of needle pricks.
However, another study suggests that the world's redheads - 2% of the population - are more sensitive to cold and less responsive to injected anesthetics.
You have a sweet tooth
If you can't stand sweet treats, it may not just be a matter of will.
Researchers at CopenhagenUniversity in Denmark studied the gene of 6,500 people and found that those with one of her two variants in the FGF21 gene had I found the chances to be about 20% higher. Sweet tooth.
They also found that the same genetic variation was present in a person with naturally low body fat.
But at one time he devoured three donuts before Please think about it. People with this variant are also more likely to develop high blood pressure and a fat waist.
You hate garlic
It has long been thought that food likes and dislikes are determined by upbringing, but researchers at King's College London have found a link between individual tastes and genes. We found that there is a strong relationship between
She studied the eating patterns of more than 3,000 twins and found that identical twins who share 100% of her genes may prefer the same food to twins who do not share the same genes. was found to be high. Up is like a normal brother.
But experimentation and environmental factors also influence preference.
