As the common saying goes – “We are what we eat.” And with more knowledge and information about health, diets and nutrition, one would be more aware about what they put into their mouth.

Whether it is low-fat, gluten-free, organic, pesticide-free, or whole-range, we would want to consume what would be the best for ourselves and our bodies (though, whether it tastes good or if it is easy on the wallet, is a separate matter).

For a family person, one would be choosing the best food for his or her family to consume – giving the best to their loved ones, in order for them to be healthy and nourished. But, what if our children’s well-being does not begin when you start feeding them the right food since they are young… or even if they are properly fed when they are in their infancy stage? What if, it starts with us, way before your kids are conceived?

Epigenetics is the study of how individual genes can be activated or deactivated by life experiences.

how epigenetics and nutrition can affect your kids

We can be aware of foods that are right for us and that improve our optimum wellness. We can stay on track with our fitness and nutrition intake to make sure that we are physically, mentally and emotionally in top shape.

But working out and keeping in good shape doesn’t have to be an individual affair. It can be hard to constantly keep up our own motivation and determination. This is why maintaining your optimum wellness with likeminded people can be more efficient and beneficial. Epi Life Coach’s members are individuals who are interested in being the best version of themselves in all aspects – physically, mentally and emotionally.

What one eats can directly affect the DNA through epigenetic modifications – altering the genetic expression. These changes are not limited to one’s own self; they can and are passed onto your children. For example, prenatal diets that are low in folic acid, vitamin B-12, and other nutrients containing “methyl groups” have been linked to an increased risk of asthma and brain and spinal cord defects in children.
