Question 1

should we believe the barker hypothesis?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: Epigenomic modification of the fetal dna is now considered the main mechanism for foad (fetal origins of adult disease), as professor barker hypothesized (see. Dr. Aagaard-tillery's papers). The theory is accepted worldwide now and makes teleological sense.

Question 2

what is this barker hypothesis about sick babies making sick adults later in life?

Accepted Answer

Epigenetics: Barker theory is low birth weight babies make changes to their metabolism/organs that benefit them short term, but hurt them long term. Low birth weight babies are at higher risk for coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke and diabetes. Low birth weight can be caused by poor maternal health and nutrition. Thus the environment/economics of the mother can affect baby/future adult.

Question 10

what are the barriers to exercise and the ways around them?

Accepted Answer

Personal: Embarrassment that you're not as fit as the gymrats can be overcome by saying, "i'm going to be happy because they're happy, and enjoy the show".  They'll respect & help you if and only if they see real effort.  Boredom can be overcome by anything from an earphone with music to exploring inner space; the first marathon runner found strength from the "iliad".  1/2 your battle's won already.
