Enviroment and Diet do affect your Genome!

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have recently done a study investigate the link between the life we lead and the body we have. They found that there are certain places on ones genome where environment and diet may affect body outcomes. An example is DNA Methylation, with has been found to leave “marks” on the genome of the heart when a traumatic event has occurred, such as a road traffic accident. With this evidence more studies can be preformed to try to alter and/or better understand the marks that DNA methylation leaves on our genome.

This study was discussed in an article on sciencedaily.com.
