Let's talk about CELLS... IT is the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. 

Since cells plays an important role in our body system, we need to nourish it with nutrients for them to make our body organs function well. That is where cellular nutrition takes place.

What is CELLULAR NUTRITION? Cellular nutrition acts at the cellular level and offers all the essential nutrients that the body needs in order to function properly. As we age, our body cells get covered with toxins every single day, and our metabolism slows down which makes it very hard for the body to absorb all the essential nutrients from foods, in order for the body to function properly and maintain an optimal weight and health. Cellular nutrition helps to clean the body cells of toxins, and to keep them active in order for the body to be able to absorb all the essential nutrients from foods, supplements and vitamins.

THE QUESTION IS Do you have a HEALTHY CELLS?

Before we tackle about how healthy is our cells, let me first discuss first about TODAY'S HEALTH REALITY. 

Most degenerative diseases are preventable.While degenerative diseases have  little cure, most are preventable. We must first understand that these diseases are NOT an inevitable result of old age. “Old” does not equal “Sick” – not necessarily.Almost all degenerative diseases result from accumulated damage to our cells. So, if we protect our cells from damage, we have the best chance to live a long healthy life.

Our cells are damaged by Free Radicals. A free radical is a molecule with unpaired electrons in its outer shell. It is highly reactive, and will “rob” a neighboring molecule of its electron, which in turn becomes a free radical – setting off a chain reaction of destruction.

Free radicals come not only from pollution and toxins from the outside, but are also generated by our cells during the process of burning food for energy. So there is no practical way of avoiding them.

What we need are Antioxidants to protect our cells. Antioxidants donate electrons to free radicals, but do not become free radicals as a result. Hence they stop the chain reaction of destruction.
We should get a significant amount of antioxidants from our food. The more the antioxidants in our body, the less damage free radicals cause.

Dr Myron Wentz, a US microbiologist and immunologist with over 30 years of experience in human cell culture, calls our cells “Invisible Miracles”. They inspire awe in their ability to stay healthy and repair themselves. While cells eventually die, they produce their next generation in exact replicas of themselves. The DNA in the nucleus is like a computer code that tells a cell what to do and how to stay healthy.In fact, Dr Myron Wentz postulates that cells can remain healthy indefinitely, provided they are given all the nutrients they need (as building blocks) and all the protection they need from cellular damage.
