Epigenetic changes have traditionally been thought to arise from internal cellular processes that result in the chemical tagging of DNA and its…

The study, published recently in the journal Clinical Nutrition, was co-authored by researchers at Ben-Gurion University, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the University of Leipzig.

Neurological conditions, including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, have been associated with a higher brain age gap — a…
