Keep Your Cells Healthy
Every day in your body 432
billion cells die and are replaced with new cells. This is the key to
regenerating your body and staying young. Because of this you could have
a better functioning body next year if you want, skinnier, with less pains and
more energy…if you take the right steps.
That 432 billion number is
a just a scientific estimate. Cells are so small and there are so many in your
body (somewhere between 60 -100 trillion) that no one could ever count them
individually. This is also why you don’t notice your body renewing itself all
the time, but it is!
Examples of a New Body:
·
The
liver is replaced every five months.
·
A new
covering of skin happens every four weeks.
·
Our
heart is replaced every six to nine months.
·
Your
liver is capable of renewing and repairing from as little as 25% of its tissue.
·
New
studies are indicating that even brain cells may regenerate.
·
That
process makes me highly optimistic that you could have a better functioning
body next year if you want, with less pain and more energy… if you take the
right steps.
Are You Degenerating Or
Regenerating?
We know that in a fashion
we are creating a new body by slowly getting new cells every day. The question
is whether our new cells will be a healthier or less healthy.
The quality of the new
cells is dependent on the raw material, the food that was available when the
replacement cells were being formed. If you feed the body the proper food and
nutrition, the new cells being formed can actually be stronger and healthier
then the old cells ever were.
This is called
regeneration. If you feed the body poorly, the result will be cells of an
inferior quality. This is degeneration.
There are limits to this
of course. Reasearchers estimate that 30 percent of our health is determined by
genetics. You can do a LOT with that leftover 70 percent though. Even the
expression of genetics has been shown to be moderated by the environment.
The Big 5 Regeneration
Tips
1. Fresh Vegetables are filled with vitamins and minerals and are good sources of phytochemicals that protect the body from disease and aging. They are the ‘heavy weights’ in regeneration. This includes the powerfoods like spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbage and carrots.

2. Fresh Fruits are filled with vitamins, minerals
and phytochemicals that protect the body. This includes the powerfoods
like lemons, apples, bananas, mangos and watermelon.
Each of these fruits has a host of health benefits.
3. Whole Grains like Brown Rice, oats, buckwheat, barley, millet, quinoa are
a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and some protein.
4. Drink lots of pure
water. Water
is needed for digestion, circulation of body fluids and joint lubrication.
5. Exercise.
Nourishing Friendships. Nature. Sleep. As your body starts functioning on a healthier level, you
might naturally tend to stop craving things that interfere with the body’s
balance. Your body will also handle imbalance better. These regenerative
sources are what I teach people to plan and cook in my healthy web BootCamps.
The best thing about
regeneration is that you don’t have to think about what your body is doing. All
you have to do is set up the proper conditions and your body will take care of
everything else.
A healthy body has the
ability to heal itself of all (or almost all) problems if properly nourished.
Thinking and worrying about it does not enhance the process, it actually can
slow it down. You might as well be a carefree teenager just like your 15
½-year-old body!
Staying Young: Final
Factors
You might notice that the
big 5 regenerative choices actually cost a lot less than the degenerative
options — and some are entirely free!

Once the body has the
basic raw materials for proper regeneration the next step is how we use that
body.
Equally important is how we use the mind that “drives” the body.

The body was not meant to
sit idle. Neither was our mind. If you are not moving the body
regularly, it will become toxic and acidic. Some health professionals say you
should not sit for more than one hour without getting up and moving around. I
personally like to move around outside so I can also get the sunshine and fresh
air.
