What the Heck are Mitochondria?

“I have heard a lot of talk about mitochondria,” a reader tweets. “ What is it and why is it so important?” I love telling people about mitochondria. Discovering the importance of mitochondria and how to optimize their function was a huge part of my personal healing journey. Mitochondria are key energy sources for our bodies. They are tiny factories housed within our cells that take the foods we eat and the oxygen we breathe and convert them into energy. Taking care of your mitochondria can make you leaner and smarter. It can help prevent aging and increase your energy. If you liked this video, be sure to share it with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter.
