RE: Science Lesson: Epigenetics Part 1 (What Is Epigenetics?)
Great post i use to study chemistry long ago..is that true that somehow we have the ability to "re-write" our own DNA ?

Re-writing implies that the underlying genetic code is changeable, which is not naturally possible. However from an epigenetic perspetive the body can regulate gene expression (this through methylation, and in my next post on this I am going further into actual DNA methylation itself as a means to regulate how much of a gene is actually turned into a protein). So our epigenetic methylation states can be "re-written" thus the amount of proteins produced could be changed.
Does this at least begin to answer your question? Maybe if it is on the right track then maybe my next post in this series will help explain a bit better!
Yes, your answer is clear and confirm my thoughts.....our body is like a soup , even with the same ingredients (food, air, water) that we bring inside, the result will be different for every person, then our level of energy, how we control it, will be a key factor in our abilities to alter our DNA for a better one.
Another question : How water can influence our DNA, as our body is 72% of water ?
I don't have a direct answer for that one. There are a lot of pathways that could be influenced by too much or two little water which could influence these regulatory pathways. However directly water itself has no real interplay other than serving as the solvent which DNA is dissolved in.
Thanks for your answer, ..interesting....so is the quality of the solvent important ?.
Water has memory, it's very intelligent itself, they way we look at it, the thought, how we handle it , anyway it's another story.
I appreciate meeting with people like you , thanks to Steemit, i can find great people to discuss, so i m happy.
Water doesn't have memory...
