Our health is influenced by our genetics and our epigenetics. Genetics refers to the DNA we get from our parents while epigenetics describes how our DNA’s activity can be changed in our bodies.  Epigenetic marks are put on our DNA by the things we are exposed to in the environment and the choices that we make. These influence our health, our risk of disease, and can be passed to future generations! (From: Let'sGetHealthy.org)
