Can Epigenetics Shine a Light On Fat

I found some photos of when I started my PhD in Space Telecommunications, its been on pause for some time just like these photos. I have been deep diving into the world of Epigenetics and that word that is like Kryptonite to many in the fashion world let alone the movie business. Its all ok until you start gaining weight or God forbid actually let yourself go and become Fat.

Epigenetics is about shining the light of what drives your fat genes in conditions that can be changed eg your either on or your off. Lots of environmental factors can determine them

What happens if you get Fat from factors outside your control like a course of antibiotics or getting sick. Some data suggestes that infections can actually turn your fat epigenetic on. Interesting

There are 11 types of Female Body Archetypes

There is 56% of female archetypes that have more fat than 44% of other female archetypes

16% of these 56% have the most amount of fat of all the female archetypes

Yet the fashion industry only cut their patterns for 1 of 11 female body archetypes what happens to the other 10 female body archtypes.

Like Joan from Mad Men

and The Presidents Wife in Scandal

This is really interesting stuff, men have less body fat than women and women have 11 different body types and need really 11 different patterns to be made for clothes to really fit them.

Its a jungle out there in the change rooms and the bedrooms at home all these female body archetypes trying to fit into something that is cut for 32 24 32 when they are 36 28 42 how does that work.

Environmental variables such as nutrition and lifestyle may contribute to this tendency. These variables have the ability to change gene expression without affecting the DNA sequence, which is a phenomenon known as epigenetics.
