"SIMPLY PUT"
REPRESENTS TRILLIONS OF CELLS
The
basic living unit of your body is the cell. Every structure in your body is composed
of a collection of many different cells, each performing its function in
support
of the overall success or failure of your human body.
In all, your
body contains about 100 trillion cells, each working independently so that as
a
whole you will be healthy. That is a new number. I've been saying
that it
is around 74 trillion cells. Now, I have a new number for
cells.
Each cell is especially adapted to perform a particular function.
Example:
The 25 trillion red blood cells in your body
perform the specific function
of transporting oxygen
from your lungs to your other cells.
All cells
are small chemical factories, combing through and separating various elements to
create the energy that
sustains life. Although these cells and their end
products often
differ considerably from each other,
all of them have certain similar
characteristics.
In all cells:
Oxygen combines with a carbohydrate
fat, or protein to
release the energy required for cells to function.
The basic way that nutrients are changed into energy remains the same.
The waste generated is discarded into the fluids that surround it.
Almost all
cells have the ability to reproduce themselves, and whenever
cells of a
particular type are destroyed, the remaining cells will generally
divide again and again until the need to replenish themselves has been met.
The Healthy Cell Concept
Life and health are the balanced interaction of all body cells.
Cells group to form
organs, tissue, bone, and other parts that make up our physical being.
Each
individual cell consumes fuel, produces energy, and eliminates waste.
When given
the necessary components of minerals, vitamins and a healthy
mental attitude,
our body, in the totality of its cells, can maintain a perfect
balance of life and health.
You are what you Eat
Your body
takes food, to digest it, capture its nutrients and transport these nutrients
to
your cells. Your cells use these nutrients to perform all the functions
that
they do in your body.
What you eat becomes
the cell structure of your body and
the cell structure
determines your physical-healthy or unhealthy-nature.
This is why you should be aware of what you eat.
If you eat unhealthy foods, you generate
unhealthy and toxic cells, which
means that you will become unhealthy and toxic.
Your cells need certain nutrients, some of which are found in the foods you eat.
These are
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, water,
and enzymes.
Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are known as macronutrients because
we need a lot of
them to stay healthy.
Unfortunately, a lot of the food that you eat today lacks many vitamins and minerals.
