The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, revealed that only 2% of our DNA codes for proteins. This small fragment contains the genes that produce the body's basic structures and functions.
However, the other 98%, which was previously called "junk DNA", is now known to play a key role in epigenetic regulation. That is, although its function is not to produce proteins, it controls which genes are activated or deactivated, when and to what extent. Thanks to epigenetics, we understand that this DNA regulates gene expression in response to environment, thoughts, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Yes, your life experiences, such as chronic stress or trauma, can affect future generations through epigenetics. For example, elevated cortisol levels may imprint on genetic material, influencing how descendants handle emotional situations. Positive lifestyle choices, like a nutritious diet and strong social connections, can help balance and improve these inherited traits.
Nutrients such as fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals help regulate gene activity. They are involved in processes such as methylation and acetylation, which control whether a gene is turned on or off. In addition to being a source of energy, these nutrients are key for epigenetic modulators to function properly.
Environmental factors directly influence epigenetics. Exposure to chemical compounds, high levels of carbon dioxide, radiation, or heavy metals can alter the way genes are expressed. This affects cellular homeostasis, which is the internal balance that allows cells to function properly.
When this balance is lost, health can deteriorate. To reduce environmental impact, the body uses processes such as discharge, which releases electromagnetic charge, and chelation, which removes toxins and heavy metals. These actions help protect epigenetic regulation and maintain cellular well-being.
Cellular homeostasis is the ability of cells to maintain their internal balance, even when the environment changes. It is critical for key functions such as gene expression, energy production, and stress response to remain stable.
When this balance is broken, cells stop functioning properly, which can affect well-being. Taking care of food, rest and the environment helps to protect cellular homeostasis and, with it, general well-being.
