Abstract :

Mitochondria are tiny structures found inside nearly every cell in the body including neurons. Mitochondria are associated with various cellular activities critical to homeostasis, particularly in the nervous system. Distinct cellular events causing oxidative stress or disruption of metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis can trigger a neuropathology. ROS is the free radical theory of aging involving mitochondria, DNA and lost energy production leading to inflammation and implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Toxins can lit­erally destroy our way of thinking properly and add to depletion of energy. Depression/Lethargy - an inflammato­ry stress response holds onto toxins. A stressed digestive system & immune system increase risk for insomnia and disease. Our brain needs proper nutrition, sleep, exercise, and neurotransmitter function. Obesity causes brain atrophy.” (Dr. Amen) Physiologically, children are more than ever vulnerable to brain aging. Endocrine disruption mimic hormones and can add to premature aging and disease.The gut microbiome is an endocrine organ contain­ing microbes and genes.The skin is an endocrine organ and can produce hormones that are released through blood circulation. Toxic Ingredients and/or Carcinogens interfere with the proper functioning of the endocrine system, which controls the production and release of hormones.
