It is also affected by environmental conditions. Having a proper diet greatly affects the epigenome gene expression that affects the body&#8217;s health. In order for the body to be healthy, genes that are beneficial are turned on while those detrimental are turned off. Detrimental genes lead to unhealthy body conditions and diseases. Eating certain foods lead to the DNA Methylation functioning properly.</p>
<p>Among the calciferous foods recommended include kale, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Foods and Supplements that contain folic acid include chicken giblets, egg yolk, lentils, dried beans, almonds, Soya products, wheat flour, wholegrain breads, spinach, broccoli, oranges, asparagus and peaches. Among the foods that contain antioxidants include wild blueberries, pinto beans, cranberries, black berries, raspberries, black plum, sweet cherries among others. Having a diet that is proper aids the methylation process.</p>

However yogurt intake can help prevent this condition. Dairy products have calcium that assist in bone development and health. When a person suffers from osteoporosis there bones are usually brittle and lose minerals and mass. The bones become very weak resulting in great susceptibility to bone breakages and poor posture.</p>
<p>There are two types of osteoporosis: type 1 and type 2. Hormone changes cause osteoporosis type one. Osteoporosis 2 is usually caused by lack of vitamin D and calcium. You can avoid type 2 osteoporosis when you take regular intakes of yogurt which has high amounts of vitamin D and calcium. The recommended choice of yogurt is that one that has between 35 and 40 % of the required amount of daily calcium intake per serving. Vitamin D in yogurt assists the body to take in the calcium efficiently.</p>

Due to the ever growing technology and research, drugs have become more beneficial though they need to be taken with care and caution. Many drugs have an impact in the bodies system and especially the digestive system as it interacts with the nutrients ingested in the body.</p>
<p>Some medicines increase or reduce urinary excretions of some nutrients as well as reduce or increase the PH of the urine thus affecting the re-absorption o f the drugs into the body. Some foods enhance the metabolism and efficacy of some drugs thus those types of drugs should be taken before after a meal. others such as Aspirin are better absorbed on an empty stomach or with small amount of food in the tummy. Some drugs affect foods by changing food intake either by increasing or reducing appetite of the patient.</p>

Many vegetarians are now able to select from this substitutes to complete their meal experience.</p>
<p>Walnuts are one of the best protein substitutes as they contain not only large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids but also are rich in fiber, vitamins b, magnesium and plant sterols. Salmon is also another good source of proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. Canola is another new generation protein substitute, it easily dissolves in water and its isolates do not affect its color or settle to the bottom as other proteins. It has been rendered safe for human consumption as it contains 1% of erucic acid and people are advised to take twice as much canola oil for every single meal taken.</p>
