WHY IS MITOCHONDRIA IMPORTANT? What do mitochondria do? What do mitochondria look like? What is the function of mitochondria, the structure of mitochondria? And why is the mitochondria health so important to aging?
How does the food we eat and the air we breathe turn into the energy our cells need to function properly? This process happens in the powerhouse of the cell known as the mitochondria.
In order to better understand what happens as we age and the impact that mitochondria health has on aging, it helps to take a look at the structure and function of mitochondria in the cell. This video takes an in-depth look at what mitochondria look like, what happens inside the mitochondria during cellular respiration and overall mitochondria health.
This video is the first in a series of four on the mitochondria. The links to the rest of the video will appear here once they’re posted. For the first time, I’ve included a downloadable infographic with this video. The link to download it is below as well.
