Science is beginning to illuminate why — not through the language of fairness or fortune, but through the quiet logic of biology. Genetics, the nutritional character of food, and the body's daily movement form an intricate triad that determines how weight is gained or held, reminding us that human bodies are not uniform instruments but deeply individual ones.
