Nutriepigenomics

The study of food nutrients and their effects on human health via epigenetic alterations is known as Nutriepigenomics. Obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer are all connected to nutritional imbalances during pregnancy and lactation, according to a growing body of data. If metabolic disruptions occur during important developmental periods, the subsequent epigenetic changes can cause lasting changes in tissue and organ form and function, as well as predispose people to disease.
