Summary
Nutrition in early life can impact metabolic programming and epigenetics. Clinical studies suggest that the protein quality and quantity consumed during this period can influence metabolic programming and life-long health. Early life nutrition, can therefore, influence mechanisms that play a role in adiposity and risk of non-communicable diseases in later lie.
