Obesity

In particular, obese people have different methylation patterns of many genes compared to lean people, and many differences are also found in histone acetylation. Many of these genes, for example, influence the formation and differentiation of adipocytes (i.e. fat cells), while others affect energy balance and the production of hormones that control metabolic processes. Epigenetically acting nutrients can not only help to lose weight, but also to repair the damage to DNA that obesity has caused, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes, for example. It is also important to support hormone balance (especially sex hormones and thyroid), gut microbiome balance and cellular communication, as well as blood sugar regulation.
