Environmental epigenetics and human health care

Hosam E.A.F. Bayoumi Hamuda

Abstract

Human is exposed to a huge number of environmental influences that have effects on epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetics is a field in biology that focuses on inherited changes in the gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the DNA sequence. Environmental epigenetics describes how environmental factors affect cellular epigenetics and, hence, the human health. A foundational goal for the people is to improve their health, which typically includes positive changes in lifestyle and especially diet.
