Exercise, even in small doses, changes the expression of our innate DNA. New research from Lund University in Sweden has described for the first time what happens on an epigenetic level in fat cells when we undertake physical activity.
"Our study shows the positive effects of exercise, because the epigenetic pattern of genes that affect fat storage in the body changes," says Charlotte Ling, Associate Professor at Lund University Diabetes Centre.

Really pleased that I read The Epigenetics Revolution earlier this year - I now understand this sort of thing! Well, sort of! 🙂
