The Genetics of Diseases Cellular Health @Health and Salvation- Truth for Today Ministries

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions.

Definition

On a Cellular Level• Human blood is red in colour, ranging from bright red

when oxygenated to a very dark, almost blackish-red when deoxygenated.

• Each cell is a small container of chemicals and water wrapped in a membrane.

• Cells continually divide to make more cells for growth and repair in your body.

• Protein is necessary for the growth and repair of the body cells.

What Causes Disease?• Pathogens are microorganisms - such as bacteria and viruses - that cause disease. Bacteria release toxins, and viruses damage our cells.

Example:- A Fatal Disease- (Cancer)

How do healthy cells become cancerous?

A healthy cell does not turn into a cancer cell overnight. Its behaviour gradually changes, a result of damage to between three and seven

of the hundreds of genes that control cell growth, division and life span. First,

the cell starts to grow and it multiplies.

Essential Nutrients needed for Healthy Cells- 1

Carbohydrates Protein

• They perform all of the enzyme functions like. (Antibody production) and; they provide for repair of DNA when it is damaged.

Fat

• The main function of the fats in your cell's membrane is to create shape and structural stability.

• Take the form of Sugars and starches

• They are the compounds which provide energy to living cells.

Essential Nutrients needed for Healthy Cells- 2

Vitamins Minerals• Minerals are

naturally occurring inorganic substances required in trace amounts for normal body functions and the construction of Red Blood Cells.

Water• Cells greatly depend on

water in order to function normally. Take away water and the cells will weaken and eventually die. No water means no cell. No cells means no tissues. No tissues means no organs and no organs means no body.

• Vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development.

Important to Note• Not eating enough fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains and organic foods may increase your risk for health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and poor bone health (osteoporosis).

Maintaining Cellular Health is equally important to prevent Disease

Cellular Health• Vitamin B6- helps form red blood cells and maintain brain function. This

vitamin also plays an important role in the proteins that are part of many chemical reactions in the body. 

• Vitamin B 12- like the other B vitamins, is important for metabolism. It also helps form red blood cells and maintain the central nervous system.

• Vitamin E- is an antioxidant, it helps the body form red blood cells and use vitamin K.

• Riboflavin-  (vitamin B2) works with the other B vitamins. It is important for body growth and the production of red blood cells.

Know your Nutritional Needs

• Cellular nutrition helps to clean the body cells of toxins, and to keep them active.

• It is based on nutrient synergy and the optimal daily intake of vitamins and other essential nutrients.

• Good and poor health is determined at the level of the millions of cells making up the human body. Vitamins, amino acids and trace elements are needed. Chronic deficiency of these nutrients is the most frequent cause of cellular dysfunction.

Daily Supplementation for Healthy cells • Formed by a group of several compounds, Vitamin A plays a role in

maintaining healthy vision, bone growth, cell reproduction, cell strength, and cell differentiation. Vitamin A plays a huge role in controlling the immune system, which directly impacts a person's longevity. Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) need Vitamin A to work more effectively in fighting disease.

• With improved cell strength from Vitamin A, the wetter linings of the body such as the lungs, urinary tract, intestinal tract, and eyes become much stronger. This in effect blocks many viruses and bacteria from entering the body at all. If these linings begin to break down, it is much easier to become sick.

Consult your Doctor and Start necessary Supplementing

• Vitamin B12 - is a building block red blood cell formation.

• Calcium-  A good supplement may slow down or in some cases reverse the bone breakdown that comes with age. 

•  Vitamin D- Our modern society however has made daily exposure to the sun somewhat inconvenient or even impossible for some people, making it necessary to consume the vitamin in supplemental form.

• Ginkgo Biloba- Found in nature as a tree, Ginkgo has been used as a remedy in the East for thousands of years. Many people who take these supplements report an increase in mental activity and agility, as well as improved memory retention. It also helps increase blood flow and fights damage from free radicals in a similar manner to antioxidants.
