Now new evidence suggests an answer: dieting and exercise may modify crucial epigenome markers. In a pilot study involving 30 men with early-stage prostate cancer, colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, US, tested the effects of a dramatic lifestyle change on gene expression in the prostate. Biopsies taken before and after 3 months of healthy eating, moderate exercise, stress management and psychotherapy showed a significant change in the expression of hundreds of genes.
