Testing our "Mitochondria"

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that most of our "ailments" in life . . . are due to our "Mitochondria" not functioning correctly.

And that medicine . . . conventional and/or alternative . . . are too quick to "treat" the symptoms we have . . . instead of fixing to the ROOT cause . . .

Which would be . . .

The "malfunction" of the MECHANICS of the body . . . our "Mitochondria" . . .

Okay . . . so how do they test for this "malfunction" in our cells you ask???

Well . . . there's a non-invasive test to evaluate "Mitochondrial" function called . . . the MitoSwab test . . .

It collects "cells" from the inner cheek lining with a cheek swab, which are then analyzed to measure the activity of specific enzymes within the "Mitochondria"

Simple . . .

BUT . . . have you ever had one done???

So, let's continue . . .

I'm sure you're now thinking . . .

What "foods" are BAD for our "Mitochondria" . . . and "increase" OXIDATIVE STRESS . . . INFLAMMATION . . . and . . . produce damaging FREE RADICALS???

Well . . . basically . . . this WESTERN DIET we all love so much like . . .

"Processed foods" . . . anything in a box or can and NOT fresh . . . all due to harmful additives, preservative like "sodium benzoate" and added salts

"Excess sugar" . . . especially in the "other ingredient" part of a label . . . that ENDS with "OSE" like . . . fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, dextrose to mention a few . . . even fruit sugar and table sugar

"Refined carbohydrates" . . . processed grains, white bread, white pasta, pastries, cookies, cakes, white rice, breakfast cereals, crackers and snacks

"Trans Fats" . . . found in "fried foods" . . . margarines . . . packaged snacks . . . all "trigger" inflammation and oxidative stress

"Processed Meats" . . . contain "nitrates" and other chemicals that can be detrimental to our "Mitochondria"

"Excess Alcohol" . . . can damage muscles and the nervous system . . . adding to the burden on our "Mitochondria"

And what's the end result???

Well . . . these are all . . . "EMPTY CALORIE" . . . "NUTRITIONALLY VOID" . . . foods . . .

And due to their LOW FIBER content . . .

They digest "rapidly" . . . causing quick BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES . . . followed by "crashes" . . . increasing hunger . . . and insulin resistance . . .

And . . . potential long-term risks like weight gain, obesity, diabetes and heart disease!!!

They also . . . generate more "reactive oxygen species like . . . "free radicals" (those are them ones that cause CANCER) . . . than the body can neutralize . . . causing oxidative damage

And they cause . . . "CHRONIC INFLAMMATION" . . .

PEOPLE . . . that's why we ALL hurt and can't move!!!

That's what "ARTHRITIS" is all about!!!

So, tomorrow let's continue
