Healing Power of Mitochondria
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell.

They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

You can tune up your mitochondria by eating healthy and taking nutritional supplements that mimic the positive effects of exercise and caloric restriction.

One of them is resveratrol, which activates SIRT1 genes; the same ones that are turned on by caloric restriction.

Dr. Alan Tillotson, a master of Western, Ayurvedic, and Oriental medicine, returns to The Wizard of Eyes to share his vast knowledge in these tiny intra-cellular organelles.
