In simple terms, epigenetics is the science that studies how you can influence the work of our genes without changing the structure of the DNA molecule where they are located. It turns out that factors from the external and internal environment—including our psycho-emotional state—can make adjustments to our health and the health of future generations. Can we “neutralize” the risks of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that were passed down by a great-grandmother even in youth? How not to “reward” our children and grandchildren with obesity and depression? How to protect yourself from cancer when you are in the risk zone? The authors help you understand how epigenetics affects increased risks of common chronic diseases, and also how to prepare for the birth of a healthy baby.
