Mitochondria.
Mitochondria is the primary energy-producing units within almost every cell of your body. This allows your body to use nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats, and convert them into energy that can be used to power your everyday activity. Their health determines the wellness of our tissue and organs, while their dysfunction can cause life-threatening conditions.
Dr. Iñigo San Millán, former competitive cyclist and assistant professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, recently published his findings in Antioxidants (April 2023), ‘The Key Role of Mitochondrial Function in Health and Disease’.
He reinforced that mitochondrial function is key in health and disease. Mitochondrial function refers to the various roles and activities that mitochondria perform within a cell.
