If a man accustomed to every day eat sugary foods, it could eventually have a negative impact on the health of his future children.

Such a theory put forward by scientists from Germany, who conducted a special study. Studying the state of male fruit flies, which are for 1-2 days prior to mating eat sugar, the researchers found that their offspring later noted obesity . During the experiment, the researchers purposefully varied diet flies to determine how such changes affect the state of offspring. Due to the constant use of sugar was observed increased expression of genes. This changes the level of gene activity, and does not change the DNA sequence. Based on these observations, experts have concluded that, depending on the father's diet can change the genetic profile of his children. Scientists hope in the future to devise a scheme that would "tune" the genes of children, forcing them to maintain normal body weight.

However, the health of children, of course, depends not only on nutrition and lifestyle of his father. Previously, researchers from the UK has reported that mothers who during childbearing were the wrong way of life, thereby increasing the risk of chronic diseases in children. Thus, the results of the study have been published, according to which those moms who in the months of pregnancy significantly gain weight had an increased risk of delivering a baby with obesity. Consequently, a correction of the diet in favor of a healthy woman should consider before conception.

By the way, one of these days experts from the University of Montreal reported disappointing for obese people the facts. It turns out, obesity robs a person of up to 8 years of life and provokes malaise in humans for several decades. Experts analyzed a lot of data and found that obesity in youth is very bad impact on later health status and life expectancy. Most people who are overweight become disabled as a result of heart disease and type II diabetes. Doctors say that one year of obesity leads to poor health for seven years. The study is the latest evidence that excess weight leads to negative long-term consequences.
