The concept of fetal programming implies the influence of factors of the external and internal environment in the intrauterine period on the epigenetic regulation of the genome, which leads to phenotypic changes in the fetus, as well as to postnatal diseases of man, manifesting throughout life. It is possible to improve the state of health, quality and life expectancy of offspring, as well as subsequent generations, due to the pregravidar preparation of both parents, the modification of their lifestyle, the abandonment of bad habits, the rationalization of nutrition, and the donation of vitamin and mineral complexes.
