The Immortal Mitochondria

<p>I entitled this book “Immortal Mitochondria” because thousands of them in every one of my cells with<br /><br>their own genome make me live grow and function as a person with power to feel and heal. I inherited<br /><br>this old eukaryotic symbiont from my maternal mothers may be a 1000 years ago and there may me a<br /><br>1000 or more males and females out there with mitochondrial genome similar to mine. This biological<br /><br>truth relates to our daily life in terms of foods we eat for energy and our vitality our electro-magnetic<br /><br>life processes life span aging and death. As mitochondria do all this they fuse split change shape<br /><br>and get destroyed under their own specification of purposeful quality control.<br /><br>I wish to tell my readers that the mitochondrial genome talks to our nuclear genome regularly and<br /><br>caring for it is critical to our health and longevity. The first chapter is about biochemistry of chemical<br /><br>energy production from glucose the second is about “how<br /><br>how often and what kind” of foods that we should eat the<br /><br>third is about vital signs and organ failures due to failing<br /><br>mitochondria and the fourth is about diseases controlled<br /><br>my mitochondrial genes. The fifth chapter is an integrated<br /><br>summation of all. It describes the evolution of and power<br /><br>production by mitochondria mitochondrial health as it relates<br /><br>to aging and the e  ects of how we choose to live on the health<br /><br>of mitochondria. I should emphasize that “How we choose<br /><br>to live” includes exercise yoga meditation mindfulness<br /><br>acupuncture self-message and even the way we use our<br /><br>mind. We live by 3750 million of these nanomagnets in our<br /><br>cells and our life is all about the life of mitochondria within<br /><br>us. We can live long and well only by healthy mitochondria.<br /><br>We must help them remain immortal by good foods.</p>
