"Epigenetics and Nutrition"

Epigenetics is the study of how external factors, including nutrition, can influence gene expression—essentially how genes are turned on or off without changing their underlying DNA sequence. What we eat can affect our health by altering these genetic changes. For instance, certain nutrients may help activate genes that protect against diseases, while others may suppress genes linked to health issues. This means that a healthy diet not only impacts our immediate well-being but can also have lasting effects on our genetic expression and potentially affect future generations. Thus, what we eat can shape our biological destiny.
