Another concept of building wealth is to be able to pass this wealth to your children. Thanks to the science of epigenetics, we now know that our health challenges can be passed down. But we can change this. We now know that many genes are triggered when we adopt the habits and choices of our parents. But when we make different choices, we can change the outcome and our children's health legacy.
