According to a new study, twins who engage in high levels of physical activity (defined as more than 150 minutes of exercise per week) show epigenetic changes in certain DNA methylation regions that are associated with lower body mass index and waist circumference.
A new study from Washington State University has found that consistent exercise can alter the molecules in the body that influence how genes behave, in addition to changing waistlines.
The study, published in DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24642-3
The study was funded by the John Templeton Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
