A ground breaking discovery in health science involves understanding the function of some simple molecules that are vital to the cellular health of every living organism. They are naturally produced within all living cells and are known as Redox Signaling Molecules.
When it comes to human health, most of us don’t think beyond the organ, muscle, bone or blood level. But the fact is that everything in our bodies is made up of different cells. Heart cells are different from bone cells. Bone cells are different from blood cells and so on.
Cells are the basic building blocks of life. In fact, the average human body carries approximately 75 trillion of them. That’s trillion with a t, which is a thousand billions or a million millions or… well, you get the idea.
Redox Signaling Molecules are the foundational tools pertaining to cellular maintenance and have been the subject of scientific study for several years. They continue to provide a hot topic of research in professional scientific journals, textbooks and hundreds of published articles.
Scientists have discovered a link between health, aging and the redox signaling molecules. Without a sufficient supply of these compounds, over time people can physically weaken and become more susceptible to health challenges. Read the rest of this entry »
