Understanding Mitochondria and Cellular Energy – Part 1
Like any power system, the efficiency of our mitochondria depends on several factors:
Diet: The availability of nutrients like coenzyme Q10, carnitine, and antioxidants is crucial for optimal mitochondrial function. These nutrients help boost mitochondrial efficiency, much like high-quality fuel can improve the performance of an engine.
Exercise: Regular physical activity promotes the growth of new mitochondria and enhances the efficiency of existing ones, effectively upgrading our body's power plants.
