Epigenetics

Who doesn't want, to extend their life,

live a little longer, on the healthier side,

to be with loved ones, enjoy their time,

spending moments, on favorite activities.

But, things don't go as we desire,

falling victim to disease and injuries,

some are unavoidable, so be cautious, 

but a lot more... are under our control. 

Epigenetic, that studies our actions,

through behavior and environment, 

would bring changes that affects,

how our gene works, giving us advantage...

Epigenetic, influences gene expression,

giving an opportunity, to reverse bad effects,

needing major modifications or minor adjustments, 

through our diet, or simple change of pace. 

Modern lifestyle has its demands,

even clean water and air are rare,

with indulgence in many pleasures,

having no care for any consequences.

Healthcare advancements lengthened lifespan,

but quality of living, is still a far cry...

For, we have been involved in a lifestyle,

that denies mindfulness, and health consciousness. 

So, change your life, while you can,

research your options, that are available, 

like control your diet, limit those sugars,

steps like intermittent fasting, is a struggle.

Have a good night sleep, be stress-free, 

let body be utilized, in repair of the body,

by facing challenges, some of adversaries, 

which might stimulate, our longevity genes... 

Let's include fresh fruit and vegetables, 

limit excess amino acids, through meat products,

it might not be a pleasant way, to avoid cravings,

also we can mimic, by adding researched molecules.

Scientists might soon produce some drugs,

still we need to learn, from many centerians, 

And we could make the masses aware,

make epigenetic...the future of preventive healthcare.
