A study published in Nature shows a father's eating habits can influence the offspring's risk of obesity and metabolic problems.

S***m carries tiny molecules called mt-tsRNAs that regulate gene expression. A high-fat diet can alter these molecules, potentially impacting the development and health of future generations.

These changes seem reversible! Following a healthy diet before conception may help reduce the risk of certain diseases in your children.
