Beyond genetics: Early nutrition and epigenetic prediction of future health outcomes in humans
The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...
Nutrition is a critical part of health and development. Better nutrition is related to improved infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity.
Consuming a healthy diet throughout the life-course helps to prevent malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of NCDs and conditions. The exact make-up of a diversified, balanced and healthy diet will vary depending on individual characteristics (such as age, gender, lifestyle and degree of physical activity), cultural context, locally available foods and dietary customs. However, the ...
