					Abstract

					Nutrition, certain lifestyle behaviors (smoking, drug, alcohol addictions, etc.) and environment all contribute to cancer and other lines development. Similarly, epigenetic pathways are known to occur at the intersection between the generally reversible effects of lifestyle or ecological factors and the irreversible alterations that explain numerous diseases. Chemoprevention is the process of intervening in the epigenome to mitigate the detrimental effects of environmental factors or certain lifestyles before they lead to significant consequences. DNA is permanently exposed to various substances modifying both its genetic and epigenetic configuration. It’s controlled by various agents (methyl donors, sophisticated enzymes, etc.). Pesticides, artificial food additives, drugs and environmental toxins penetrating the placenta, can result in developmental program alterations and epigenetic changes in a fetus. 

In nutrition context, the research revealed that several foods can alter epigenetic markers. Some vitamins may alter DNA methylation patterns and histone alterations, possibly influencing gene expression and disease risk. Thus, dietary treatments may provide an epigenetic regulation, emphasizing nutrition role in preserving health and preventing illness via epigenetics

Keywords: human epigenetics, epigenetic regulation of diseases, daily food ration, healthy food
