Epigenetics studies how lifestyle factors like nutrition can influence gene expression without changing the DNA itself. Certain nutrients found in foods like leafy greens, berries, and nuts can modify gene activity through processes such as DNA methylation. These changes can affect health by influencing disease risk, inflammation, and immune function. Nutrition during critical life stages, especially pregnancy and early childhood, can have lasting epigenetic effects. The exciting part is that many epigenetic changes are reversible through diet and lifestyle, opening up possibilities for personalized nutrition and disease prevention. Eating a balanced, whole-food diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants supports healthy gene expression and overall wellbeing.
