Cellular Health

Question 1

What is cellular health

Answer 1

Health of the cells that make up the human body

Question 2

Core processes of cellular health

Answer 2

Cellular respiration, detoxification, regeneration & repair

Question 3

What is cellular repiration

Answer 3

Process by which cells generate ATP through the break-down of nutrients like glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, in the mitochondria

Question 4

What is detoxifcation

Answer 4

Mechanism for removing harmful metabolic byproducts, environmental toxins, oxidative stress

Question 5

What is regeneration & repair

Answer 5

When cells repair damage through mechanisms like DNA repair, protein turnover, and stem cell activity

Question 6

What can impaired respiration lead to

Answer 6

Fatigue, cognitive decline, metabolic disorders

Question 7

What does detoxification involve

Answer 7

Enzymes, antioxidants, and autophagy

Question 8

What can inefficient detoxification cause

Answer 8

Inflammation, liver dysfunction, immune imbalances

Question 9

What is efficient repair critical for

Answer 9

Tissue integrity, preventing aging, preventing degeneration, preventing diseases such as cancer/neurodegenerative disorders

Question 10

What is energy production

Answer 10

When cells generate ATP through cellular respiration

Question 11

What is mitochondrial health

Answer 11

Mitochondria regulate energy production and homeostasis

Question 12

What is waste removal

Answer 12

Efficient detox processes prevent toxic buildup that causes fatigue, inflammation, and disease. Impaired detoxification can harm physical and mental well-being

Question 13

What is metabolic efficiency

Answer 13

Optimal cellular function supports smooth metabolism, nutrient absorption, and glucose regulation

Question 14

What is homeostatis

Answer 14

When healthy cells maintain a table internal environment, regulating energy, nutrient absorption, waste removal, fluid/electrolyte balance, temperature, & PH

Question 15

How do cells affect nutrient absorption

Answer 15

When cells absorb and transport nutrients (glucose, amino acids, fatty acids) to support energy production and repair

Question 16

How do cells affect fluid & electrolyte balance

Answer 16

Proper cell function ensures electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, calcium) for nerve and muscle function

Question 17

How do cells affect temperature & PH

Answer 17

Cells help regulate body temp and PH balance

Question 18

How do cells affect the immune system

Answer 18

Optimal cell function is essential for a strong immune response. Impaired cells weaken immunity, increase infection risk, while healthy cells support pathogen defense and tissue repair

Question 19

What causes inflammation in cells

Answer 19

Chronic inflammation arises from dysfunctional cellular processes which contributes to autoimmune disorders, arthritis, and heart disease

Question 20

Hormone balance in cells

Answer 20

Healthy cells in endocrine organs are key for hormone production and receptor sensitivity. Dysfunction leads to hormone imbalances, affecting metabolism, mood, and stress response (insulin resistance & thyroid issues)

Question 21

How do cells affect systemic function

Answer 21

Healthy cells are crucial for immune function, hormone production, nervous system health, and mood regulation.

Question 22

What factors are important for metabolic efficiency

Answer 22

Mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, enzyme function, physical activity, hormones, nutrient availability, sleep, and toxicant exposure
