Have you ever wondered how the human body turns the food we eat into the energy that keeps us going?

Believe it or not, almost every cell in your body (with the exception of red blood cells) is involved in this gigantic task.

Contained within each of your 37 trillion cells are hundreds and thousands of ‘power plants’ – or mitochondria. These tiny factories use the carbohydrates, fats and proteins that you eat and convert them, step-by-step, into the energy your body needs to do its job.

Part of this process involves the production of free radicals whose job it is to trigger the repair and creation of new mitochondria. This is a good thing and once they have done their job they are squelched by anti-oxidants that are produced naturally within the body.

Problems arise, however, when free radicals increase to more than can be countered with anti-oxidants. This results in oxidative stress. Then mitochondria are damaged and not able to keep up with the demand for energy production.

If these “power plants” break down—or stop working as well as they should—it can lead to fatigue, weakness, muscle cramps, heart palpitations, headaches, and brain fog. In fact, research indicates that conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, and CANCER all involve a disruption in the function of mitochondria.

Mitochondria are also damaged by stress, internal inflammation, and large amounts of carbohydrates or sugar.

That means we can help your mitochondria by decreasing stress and sugar, plus exercise, B vitamins, antioxidants, and lots of sleep.
