Epigenetics and the Environment (book)

"Epigenetics and the Environment" explores how environmental factors, such as diet, stress, and exposure to toxins, can influence gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself. This means that while the genetic code remains the same, the way genes are turned on or off can vary based on individual experiences and surroundings. These changes can affect health and behavior, passing effects from one generation to the next. Understanding epigenetics highlights the complex interplay between our genes and the environment, emphasizing that our lifestyle choices can profoundly impact our biology and future generations.
