Mitochondrial Kit

Do not underestimate the power of mitochondria! When the energy of your cells drops, you begin aging and your body becomes at-risk for chronic disease. Each cell has a power generator—you can think of it as a battery—called mitochondria. Mitochondria churn the food you eat into energy to power the cell. Research is showing us that aging and health have a lot to do with how energized and healthy your mitochondria are. The more power they have, the better you function. Here’s why… mitochondria and the cell nucleus need to communicate often and clearly. In an article in Experience Life, Harvard Medical School biologist David Sinclair explains the nucleus-mitochondria relationship as time takes its toll on cells and we age: “The aging process, we discovered, is like a married couple. When they are young, they communicate well. But over time, living in close quarters for many years, communication breaks down.” Fortunately, Sinclair notes, “restoring communication solves the problem.” When
