Description

Epigenetics is one of the most important discoveries in the field of biology in recent years because it changes our understanding of genetics. Until then, scientists believed that men and animals were a product exclusively of their genes. If the son inherited the genes for a certain disease from his father, he is bound to develop that disease. Not always… Epigenetics shows that DNA can also be influenced by our behavior. In this book, French scientist Joël de Rosnay, one of the exponents in this branch of biology, explains the scope of this scientific revolution and teaches what is possible to do to achieve physical and mental balance. He offers advice for good nutrition, reducing stress, exercising and highlights the importance of family and social relationships and enjoying what we do. From epigenetics, we become even more responsible for what we do with ourselves – after all, we can “manage” our body and our health. Rosnay warns us about this enormous responsibility and teaches us how to make the most of it.
