Aging and the Epigenome
The epigenome acts as the conductor of our genetic orchestra, determining which genes are expressed at any given time. As we age, this conductor can become "demented," leading to a loss of function and the inability to read the right genes. Daily DNA damage contributes to this decline, but simple lifestyle choices, like avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure, can help mitigate some of the damage. Balancing sun exposure for vitamin D while protecting the skin is crucial for maintaining health and longevity.In this clip
