ENERGY SUPPLY

The human cell is the source of the body’s energy supply; it’s what keeps us going. When the cells are not functioning at their peak you can not have optimal health, energy, or vitality. When the cell loses some of their ability to function at peak performance, which means to produce enough energy for the body, degenerative conditions starts to appear.

VITALITY

The human cell produces the energy that is called vitality, which helps make you resist stress. Good nutrition supplies the cells with the needed material to perform their job of producing an energy supply. This is the prime reason that Americans are facing so many health challenges. Our diet does not provide the needed requirements for cellular energy.

MITOCHONDRIA

Understanding how diet affects your cells, and ultimately your energy level would change the way you face health challenges. The mitochondria are the real power production plant of the cell. There could be hundreds of these in a cell; their work is to facilitate cellular respiration, which is where they transform oxygen and nutrients into energy and water. Mitochondria are considered the power generators of the cell; they convert oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to be exact.  ATP is the chemical energy “currency” of the cell that powers the cell’s metabolic activities.

ATP

ATP helps you operate At Total Power. There is some evidence that malfunctioning mitochondria could explain Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, Cancer and other condition.  Mitochondrial function is involved in aging. With aging you loss power, cells experience an energy loss. Mitochondria help cells produce more ATP than they could otherwise, this amount of energy is needed for humans to survive.

ATP is used as a source of chemical energy. Mitochondria are also involved in other processes; cellular differentiation, it controls the cell cycle and cell growth, and other cellular functions. The one place you have power over this function is in nutrition. Cellular nutrition is one of the ways to ensure you operate at total power. By boosting the cells energy, you actually will be providing the nutrients to the cell, and making sure your body systems are supported.

CELLULAR NUTRITON

At this point we are not talking about RDA or recommended daily allowance of each nutrient. If this was enough we would be preventing a number of the chronic degenerative conditions that are so prevalent today. Cellular nutrition is the way to an active and healthy life. It is both preventative and curative. Curative in the sense that you are being providing what you need so your body can do its job; this is what the cure word means in the true sense.
