Mitochondria | A Battery That Provides Energy To Every Cell Of Your Body
Have Energy Like When You Were a Healthy, Carefree Child
One reason you had so much energy is that most kids under the age of about seven live in the present moment.
You had so much energy because you lived in the present moment with possibility and play on your mind!
When your mind is in the present moment, you experience much less anxiety, worry, regret, and sadness.
Experiencing a lot of draining emotions is an unconscious, learned, and modeled behavior.
Most adults react when we get older. This has a taxing effect on the energy levels of the body and it makes us feel tired.
Studies show just one hour of extreme worry is as exhausting, or more, as 8 hours of physical labor!
When the mind vacillates between the past and future, it makes you feel tired and stressed.
Basically, since a child is more in the present moment they get less tired from worrying!
So vacillating between the past and the future can run down your batteries!
You can recharge your energy from the inside out by focusing on the current moment!
You can also become more energized and present by feeding the “battery” part of you that lives inside most every cell!
Mitochondria
- Mitochondria are tiny inclusions in your cell.
- Most cells have several thousand of them comprising 15 to 50 percent of the cell volume.
- They’re the source of over 90 percent of your body’s energy
- Your mitochondria have enormous potential to influence your health, specifically cancer.
- Optimizing mitochondrial metabolism may be at the core of effective cancer treatment and treatment for all dis-ease or disease.
- Important nutrients and co-factors for mitochondrial function include all B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3 fat, CoQ10, acetyl L-carnitine, D-ribose, and alpha-lipoic acid.
- Exercise is also important for mitochondrial health and function
It is the site of cellular respiration, an oxygen-requiring process that uses energy extracted from organic macromolecules (like glucose) to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. The power plant, generator, battery.
