Feeding Our Cells

The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Its is the cell that make up the tissue, bone and organs within our bodies.

Virus cannot grow by themselves in a culture medium like bacteria and fungi can; they have to infect a living cell that has all the machinery to build the viral particles. Virus cannot reproduce without that metabolic machinery of the cells. Said Dr Wentz, an expert in human cellular nutrition.

In doing cell culture, he learnt what made cells healthy and what allowed them to become sick and defective. He came to the conclusion that the single most important factor was how he fed those cells. 'Nutrients' supplied to cells was the most important factor in their health because we all start out from a single cell and our body is composed entirely of cells.

Need for nutrients

Body needs certain nutrients to build thing like hormones, neurotransmitters and enzymes. If the body doesn't get nutrients, then those structures will not be built properly and consequently will not function as they were intended to function.

Diet- Eat a diet rich in plant-based foods and not in acid-forming animal-based foods.

Supplements- Take high-quality nutritional supplements to guarantee your intake of essential nutrients.

Exercise- Regular exercise promotes cardiovascular fitness, maintain flexibility, promotes circulation of the lymphatic system which flushes out the toxins from the body, and slows age-related loss of muscle mass and tone.

Lifestyle- Avoid unhealthy habits like smoking. Drinking in moderation.

Environment- Minimize exposure to environmental toxins. Whenever possible eat organic food.

Reduce stress- Whenever possible; eliminate the cause of stress in your life.

If eat foods that are not good for us such as 'improper' fats or carbohydrates, and the proper ones are not there, the cell will do anything possible to substitute. And that's how we get bad fats like oxidized and transfers into our cell membranes when we should have the essential fats in membrane.

The role of oxygen

The greatest damage that's done to our cells is oxidative damage. All the activity in the cell really has as its basis on oxidation and reduction reation in which molecules are being built, molecules are being broken down, transformed into others and it's all by the chemical process of oxidation reduction.

The molecules loses an electron becomes a very dangerous element that call a free radical because that molecule will do anything possible to fill its outer orbit with that missing electron.

It will even steal an electron from a neighboring molecule to make itself whole. It damages that molecule and then there will be chain reaction of damaged structures which call oxidative damage.

Oxidative damage is the primary damage that occurs to cells in everyday life. But that damage is repaired by the body and wee have wonderful repair enzyme systems to quench those free radicals and to repair the damage that they do. Mean by quenching is that is supplies an electron and neutralizes the free radical.

The most important role of nutritional supplementation is to supply antioxidants. If someone doesn't ever take antioxidants, they are going to have free radical damage which is going to create cells that don't function, and the organs and tissues that will not function properly.

What you eat

With 80% consisting of plant food and 20% animal food. Plant food, when it is metabolized, forms for most part alkaline waste products, which is really what the body's systems are designed to deal with.

Animal tissue product produce acid waste products which are more difficult to eliminate and more importantly, the toxic substances that we expose ourselves to generally create in their detoxification acid waste products.

Fiber is found int he plant food. Antioxidants are found more in plant food and very little in animal food.

'Nutrient-ing' your body the best you can and protecting it from toxic substances, drinking only purified water, eating the healthiest food possible and avoiding thing that damage the body like smoking and drinking alcohol.

Its good to know to keep our body healthy..
