Your Mitochondria

Mitochondria are tiny organelles in almost all the cells in your body. They are responsible for providing your body with the chemical energy required to fight fatigue, ensure peak organ function to combat illness and support healthy aging. This is why mitochondria are often called the body’s cellular batteries.

Mitochondria possess the unique characteristic of having a double membrane which allows them to perform a number of different biochemical reactions; one of the most important is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the most efficient way for the body to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from the food we eat into fuel for cells. This fuel is called adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

ATP is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. Without healthy mitochondria in abundance, you cannot produce the ATP to transport vital energy to your cells to help your body function.

Unfortunately mitochondria are easily damaged. Excess free-radicals and oxidative stress reduce your mitochondria’s ability to work and can lead to a deterioration in healthy organ function.

Researchers now believe that both degenerative diseases and aging are linked to the reduction of mitochondrial function that happens normally over time.
