When cells begin to breakdown, several things happen:

Our metabolism slows. Our cells function to help regulate metabolism, including keeping glucose and cholesterol at healthy levels. As we age, our cellular response to nutrients can become impaired, affecting our body weight, glucose levels, and lipid (fat) metabolism.

Our immune system becomes unbalanced. Cell function declines and cell signaling becomes abnormal as our cells age. Mixed signaling at the cellular level can cause problems with our immune system and affect our overall health.

Our cells (including our red blood cells) become more fragile. As we age, our cells, including our red blood cells, become more fragile and lose some of their function. As a result, we can be at risk for anemia, which can make us feel tired and weak.

Waste buildup occurs in our cells. Our cells begin to lose their ability to efficiently remove waste from inside the cell walls. The buildup of cellular waste creates the opportunity for cells to further function abnormally, which can lead to problems like liver disease.

Obviously, we want to avoid unhealthy cells and the premature biological aging of our cells if at all possible. We want our cells to be strong and efficient at housekeeping so that our tissues stay healthy and we keep our bodies feeling as good as possible.

While eating a balanced diet, exercising, and maybe taking a multivitamin can help, there is more that we can do.
