Hidden worlds in our body
Every second, a fascinating spectacle takes place in our body - at cellular level. Our cells, the basic building blocks of life, work tirelessly to keep our organism healthy and vital.
Or as the alternative practitioner and pharmacist Dirk Bettenworth aptly puts it: "The health of every cell contributes to the health of the whole body. Take care of your cells and you take care of your life." But what exactly happens in these microscopic structures? And how can we optimally support our cells?
The importance of cell health
Every single cell in our body is like a small factory that works around the clock. It absorbs nutrients, converts them into energy, repairs damage and thus keeps the entire system running. When the cells are healthy, the body is healthy too. But just as a factory needs regular maintenance, our cells also need care and the right "building blocks" to function optimally.
Cell health means supplying the cells with everything they need: Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and sufficient water. These nutrients are necessary to keep the cell membranes stable, support energy production in the mitochondria and neutralize free radicals that can damage the cells.
Cell protection through nutritional supplements
Even with a balanced diet, it is sometimes difficult to consume all the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities. This is where dietary supplements can provide valuable support.
"Take care of your cells and you take care of your life."
Natura Vitalis products, which are specially tailored to the needs of the cells, provide essential micronutrients that help to promote cell health. Food supplements with antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 or omega-3 fatty acids can support cell function and boost energy production in the mitochondria.
The path to lasting vitality
To stay healthy in the long term, we need to be aware that looking after our cells is the basis of our well-being. Stress reduction, sufficient exercise and a healthy diet play a key role in protecting our cells from damage. Food supplements are a valuable addition to support cell health and thus promote long-term well-being.
So if we look after our cells and give them the nutrients they need, we lay the foundation for a vital and healthy life.
With the right combination, nutrients - like building blocks - form a secure foundation for health.
How many cells does the human body consist of?
The human body consists of around 70 trillion cells. Each cell has a specific task that contributes to maintaining the health of the entire body.
How many new cells are formed per second?
Every second, 50 million cells die in the human body - but at the same time, just as many new cells are formed to maintain the body's function.
What is the Hayflick limit?
The cells in our body divide around 50 to 70 times before they stop functioning. This process is known as the Hayflick limit and depends on the health and condition of the cells.
Where is energy generated?
Mitochondria, also known as the "power plants" of the cells, produce around 120 watts of energy every day - enough to power a light bulb.
How many chemical reactions take place per second at cell level?
The body carries out 10³⁰ chemical reactions per second at cellular level. The atoms that make up the body come and go at an astonishing speed.
Even more free radicals?
Every day, 10,000 free radicals attack the cell nucleus. Stress increases this number tenfold. A poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle can lead to up to 40 million destructive attacks on individual cells.
