Mitochondria: Sources of Energy, Health, and Longevity
Protecting your mitochondria: the key to fighting accelerated aging and preventing the onset of most diseases.
Mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses present in every cell, are essential to our vitality, our resistance to stress, and our capacity to age well. When they function poorly, fatigue sets in, imbalances appear, and disease can follow.
Prof. Vincenzo Castronovo tells the remarkable story of mitochondria: how and why they evolved from simple bacteria into true cellular engines, key players in our health and in the proper functioning of our body.
In light of recent scientific findings, he shows that impaired mitochondrial function is directly linked to chronic fatigue and diseases of civilization, including diabetes, obesity, depression, and cardiovascular or neurodegenerative disease.
Throughout the chapters, you will discover practical solutions, easy to apply day to day, to protect your mitochondria: the perfect mitochondrial meal, hormesis, fasting, and how to avoid the toxins and certain medications that target them.
Concrete guidance to preserve, restore, or maintain your health every day.
