Each of us is filled with trillions of mitochondria, the tiny factories within every cell that turn the food we eat and oxygen we breathe into energy. When communication breaks down between the central part of our cells and mitochondria, the aging process accelerates. This deterioration produces excess free radicals (damaging molecules), which in turn cause the body to operate less efficiently. The good news is that this is not irreparable. Improving intracellular communication reverses the procedure, slows down the aging process, enhances energy, metabolism and cognitive powers and restores overall health and vitality. Plus, there’s an additional benefit. Improved mitochondrial health may also help prevent a variety of age-related diseases

HEALTHY MITOCHONDRIA

Because certain organs and tissue (the heart, brain and muscle) require more energy, their cells are packed with more mitochondria. Accordingly, a stronger heart is more likely to be mitochondria-dense than a weak one.
Likewise, those of us with more healthy mitochondria feel better, have more energy and focus and a greater ability to maintain high levels of activity without tiring.

POOR MITOCHONDRIA While most of us begin with healthy mitochondria, a number of factors can deplete or damage our supply. These include everything from poor lifestyle habits, stress and a sedentary lifestyle to free radical damage, exposure to infections, allergens and toxins and poor diet.

EAT WELL, FEEL BETTER A well-balanced diet and stress reduction are two keys to better mitochondrial—and general—health, as mitochondrial deficits can also increase the risk for numerous ailments. Targeted supplementation may also help reverse mitochondria depletion. Many adults are deficient in one or more important nutrients, so consider supplementing your diet with a high quality multivitamin, especially CoQ-103
