EPIGENETICS
The revolution that is changing health care is the
recognition that our genes do not hardwire us for chronic disease but instead
offer a menu of what we can be under differing environment conditions. This is
empowering. It means that at any age, we have the choice about what information
to send to our genes from our environment, diet, and lifestyle.
Epigenetic is the term used to describe inheritance by mechanisms
other than through the DNA sequences of genes. It is the study of changes
caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic
code itself.
Epigenetics is an emerging field of science that,
eventually, could have massive implications on how we address our health and
that of future generations. The world literally means “on top of the genes,”
and that sums up the epigenome’s role in the body.
