The Nutra vigilance approach is derived from well-defined principles of pharmacovigilance related to drug safety.

<p style="text-align:justify;">Among all the external environmental factors, nutrition is thought to be one of the most important because it assists in modifying the expression of genes at the transcriptional level. Epigenetics is generally defined as heritable changes in gene expression that occur without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and RNA interference may occur through external factors and are widely known for their reversibility.<ref name="ref100"></ref><ref name="ref101"></ref><ref name="ref102"></ref><ref name="ref103"></ref> <br/>It has been proved that some compounds show potential in delaying aging-processes and degenerative diseases with regular consumption. The theory is more commonly referred to as the “Epigenetic Diet” as it introduces bioactive compounds that aid in delaying the onset of aging and age-associated disease processes.<ref name="ref104"></ref><ref name="ref105"></ref> <br/>Nitya sevaniya food can be correlated with the concept of “Epigenetic diet” in modern science.
