The Role of Biochemistry in the Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics of Longevity serves as a comprehensive resource for practitioners aiming to integrate recent nutrigenomics research into their practice. The text details how specific vitamins, amino acids, peptides, fatty acids, and plant-derived compounds influence DNA methylation, a fundamental epigenetic modification that regulates gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. The book provides an in-depth examination of the molecular mechanisms by which nutrients and bioactive compounds affect gene expression. It is intended for the general public, nutritionists, biochemists, medical students, and clinical practitioners.
Many of us believe our lifespan is predetermined by our DNA, but groundbreaking science reveals a different story: your lifestyle choices can directly influence your genes. This process, called epigenetics, is the key to a new paradigm of preventive medicine. This book helps you decode the complex world of epigenetics and nutrigenomics, providing an evidence-based blueprint for optimizing your health. This isn't just about diet trends; it's about understanding the molecular mechanisms that allow you to influence your gene expression and slow the biological clock.
Nutritional science is undergoing a revolution. The emerging fields of epigenetics and nutrigenomics reveal that the food and supplements we consume can directly influence gene expression and long-term health outcomes. The future of health is personalized, and it's rooted in biochemistry. Dietary choices and supplement regimens can alter genetic expression and disease susceptibility through epigenetic mechanisms.
