Topic: Seasonal Diet, Sleep, Gut Microbiome, and Epigenetics


​Abstract: Diet can impact epigenetic changes linked with disease and may modify gene expression patterns through epigenetic mechanisms Gut microbiota can affect the epigenetic processes of the host, consequently causing diseases such as allergy, Inflammatory Bowel Disease autoimmune disease, metabolic syndrome, colorectal cancer, stress-related disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders This possibly results from dysbiosis, a negative alteration of the gut microbiota, as well as changes in microbial metabolites, which are triggered by environmental factors such as diet, age, stress, and pharmacological factors . All these factors affect the expression of genes through epigenetic mechanisms that turn genes on or off, thereby affecting health. In Ayurveda, diet and sleep is an important key to health. Today we can say that diet and sleep alters our microbiome, and a seasonal, varied diet and quality sleep promotes the very significant diversity and balance of our intestinal flora.
