Dietary Intervention Modifies DNA Methylation Age Assessed by the Epigenetic Clock

Scope Alterations in DNA methylation patterns are correlated with aging, environmental exposures, and disease pathophysiology; the possibility of reverting or preventing these processes through dietary intervention is gaining momentum. In particular, methyl donors that provide S‐adenosyl‐methionine for one‐carbon metabolism and polyphenols such as flavanols that inhibit the activity of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) can be key modifiers of...
