Epigenetic marks play a crucial role in maintaining health throughout life by regulating biological processes and predisposition to diseases. Understanding when and how these marks can change opens new opportunities for the prevention of chronic diseases and improving quality of life. In the first part of the article, we examined the theoretical aspects of epigenetics, how and when these changes occur, and their impact on health. In the second part, we will focus on practical approaches: how to influence epigenetics through nutrition, lifestyle, and other available strategies. Particular attention will be given to critical periods such as pre-pregnancy preparation, childhood, adolescence, and aging when external factors can have the most significant long-term effects on health.

Quite often, people complain not about a bacterial infection of the sinuses but about some strange sore throat and morning nasal congestion, which goes away for a while, and all this is accompanied by entirely unrelated symptoms: fatigue, headaches, and mood swings. In this case, an allergy can be diagnosed, and maybe even an allergen can be detected. But I was surprised that, for some reason, someone began to experience headaches less often or more often and felt less tired when treating nasal congestion. After that, I suspected that there was a connection between these symptoms.

There are currently no officially recognized tests available. This gap prevents you from knowing the condition of the house you intend to live in. It would be much simpler if, when renting or buying a house, we could request a document indicating the level of mold contamination in the building. Similarly, when sending your child to school or daycare, it would be wonderful to know more about the quality of the environment they will be in. Unfortunately, experimental tests are currently in use, and there is no official registry for the toxicity levels of indoor spaces. If authorities finally acknowledged this danger and implemented standards, it could potentially lead to a significant reduction in healthcare costs.

The modern generation of children spends more time indoors than any previous generation. Remember your own childhood; going outside was always a joy for us. We had friends, games, and couldn’t be dragged back home in winter or summer. Now you can’t even persuade children to leave the house!

It’s no longer a punishment when you say, “Don’t go outside today!” It’s exactly what children want - not to go anywhere and sit in front of their phone, computer, tablet, or television screen. But there is an opinion that this is one of the main reasons for the high prevalence of health problems among today’s youth.

It has long been known that the combination of mold illness and Lyme disease complicates treatment. But only now it has become clear that indoor mold complicates the treatment of any problem, even if the mold itself is not the primary cause of these problems.

I myself had allergic rhinitis for many years. I was able to gain control over my condition without medication. The problem is gone, and the allergy has disappeared. I didn’t treat the allergy; I simply detoxified my body, adjusted my diet, changed my lifestyle, and used supplements. Gradually, the allergy season became shorter, and I had seasonal allergies from August until the first snowfall. My experience proves that the problem can be completely resolved, but it is a lengthy and meticulous process. Moreover, this applies not only to allergies but also to many other issues that can be resolved by restoring the immune system.
