The study in this area suggests that what parents eat has a long-term impact on the health and genetics of their children and grandchildren. These findings tell us that parents should make more informed food choices. How diet affects our genes is not fully understood. However, the research into nutritional epigenetics provides compelling evidence that lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on our genetics.
A modern research is already revealing the consequences of the diet followed by many people in the United States. Western diets are high in saturated fat, sugar and low in fiber, which can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer. A good place to start is to increase your intake of whole, unprocessed foods, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and reduce your intake of processed foods, fast food, chips, cookies, candy, ready meals, frozen pizza, canned soups and sugary drinks.
Simple changes in lifestyle can significantly influence the genes of our children and grandchildren. When we give up unhealthy foods in favor of healthy alternatives, it has a positive impact not only on our health but also on the health of future generations.
