Mitochondria are the little powerhouses inside each of your cells that generates the majority of the bodies energy, ATP. They are responsible for programmed cell death, and signaling molecules for gene expression. So the deterioration of mitochondria results in the breakdown of bodily systems and disease. Healthy dietary fats are cleaner burning fuel than glucose. Smart fats are very important to protect the health of every single cell membrane, and to maintain the body’s electrical system.
