Does sleeping affect your genes?

Hope you may plan to a movie or binge-watching on a weekend night  

You might think that nothing is going wrong and you were just chilling out,

Exactly it was not the thing that was happening ……

Your internal cells are yelling at your brain cells, "Hey, what's wrong with you? We need sleep and have more system repairs to make."

Your cells from inside are screaming on your brain cells like;

“Hey, what’s wrong with you, we need sleep and have more repair work to do in our system.”

Again lost in thoughts?

Yes, our body sweeps entire toxins by the fluid, produced while sleeping and all the DNA damages are repaired well at night.

Lack of sleep is linked to increased DNA breaks and decreased DNA repair gene expression, according to a study. The higher risk of malignancies and neurological illnesses in persons who lack sleep may be explained by DNA damage.

What is Cascade Testing?

Image
Once the aberrant gene has been identified, a direct test for just that gene can be made available to the patient's family. This method of testing is called cascade testing. If the relative being tested does not have any problems, the cascade test is referred to as a predictive test . Your family members are more likely to also have a genetic condition if you have one. Communicating your diagnosis with your family members enables them to get the additional information and get tested for the illness. Better health may result from early detection and treatment of genetic conditions. Testing begins with family members who are most likely to share the same genetic alteration . Depending on who has the genetic alteration and who does not, genetic testing "cascades" through the family from that point on. For instance, relatives on your mother's side would be examined if genetic testing revealed that your mother carries the same genetic variation as you do. It wouldn...

Is it possible to reverse your biological age?

Image
  In contrast to chronological age, biological age refers to the real age of your body. While biological age is flexible and can even be reversed, chronological age cannot be altered, allowing you to seem and feel younger than your actual age. Aging clocks are instruments that determine an organism's biological age using biomarkers. Since our physical and physiological functioning determines our biological age, researchers have known that this definition of ageing is very dynamic and substantially influenced by our surroundings, including our diet and way of life. Our epigenome, or the way in which our genes are expressed in response to the environment, is what establishes our biological age. We can actually slow down the biological ageing process by changing our diet and way of living. The intricacy of biological ageing and how our diet and lifestyle choices affect how our genes are expressed. It implies that you can start making little, doable adjustments that will have ...

Does yoga affect your genes!?

Image
So, let’s take a dip into the ocean of genes. But hold the yoga in your hands. Think you are practicing yoga daily. Are you? The way your cells work can also change with just 15 minutes of mental rest each day. In some studies, it was found that those who practiced meditation for 15 minutes each day for eight weeks experienced changes in 172 genes that regulate inflammation, sleep-wake rhythms, and the body's processing of sugar. But how !? The methylation patterns are influenced by lifestyle, nutrition, and pollution exposure, according to scientists. They also understand that even a single workout has the potential to alter the methylation pattern of a few genes in our muscle cells. Instead of altering the genetic code itself, the changes are made by changing how genes are expressed. According to recent studies, practicing yoga and meditation to manage our stress can potentially alter our genes. Since the body has a fantastic intrinsic ability to heal itself. One of t...
