My epigenetic clock

We are heading towards brighter times, and this is one of the best times of the year. When it gets brighter, some flowers defy the winter and look forward. At the same time, I carry experience and know that nature can give setbacks right up until April. My gloves will have to stay in my handbag for a while.

It is a turbulent time in the world. Of course, I am affected, and above all, I think of the people who lost their lives in the fighting in Ukraine. To relax, I exercise because it gives me a lot of positive energy. We have also heard in the news that we should exercise so that we are ready if Sweden were to be attacked by a foreign power.

In addition to physical activity, I am aware that my epigenetic clock is affected by my diet. During my trip to the USA, I enjoyed a wonderful salad for lunch. Isn’t it tempting? At the same time, I wonder how my DNA is doing—my silent and active genes, my biological age.
