Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes (mutations), epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change the sequence of DNA bases, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.
The fascinating thing about these changes is that they are influenced by factors like your beliefs, environment, and experiences, which can ultimately 'reprogram' how your body reads its genetic code. These changes are not permanent like genetic mutations, but they can have lasting effects on how genes are expressed, influencing everything from your health to how traits are passed down to future generations. It’s like your body is continuously evolving, adjusting to the patterns set by your mind and surroundings.
