Topic > The History of Epigenetics - 1021

Epigenetics may also be responsible for changes in histone, the main protein component of chromatin, which is a combination of DNA and proteins to form the nucleus of a cell. Furthermore, the idea of ​​epigenetic therapy is to avoid killing the cell. The idea is to remind the cell that it is also a human cell and that it shouldn't behave that way. Researchers are trying to do this by reactivating the genes. New measures in our lifestyle and some dietary supplements can help us control the effects of both epigenetics and genetics. One of the first steps to minimizing damage is to avoid environmental chemicals. Changes in our DNA can be related to exposure to environmental toxins such as BPA, pesticides, solvents, etc. We are not only exposed to these toxins through water or food, but also through cosmetics, hair dyes or sunscreens. Furthermore, following a balanced diet is essential. A diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables can help us reduce the risks of methylation defects. Additionally, for anyone with a genetic predisposition to develop a genetic disease, it is important to control sugar intake, lack of sleep, and stress. This can help prevent the development of
