Nutrition and Your Life Span

In considering the different and varied Life Spans of different organisms - there are trees that are thousands of years old, some turtles live to be over a hundred. My own African Grey may live to be 70, the Amazon Parrot could possible live to be more than a 100.

The Bible says that Adam lived for 930 years and Methuselah, the oldest age recorded, lived to be 969 years old. As interesting as those many diverse life spans are, what do they have to do with us?

In those days man was closer to Adam and Eve who were designed to live forever - the further away we are, the worse off we are.

Man generally does not even make it to 100 years these days. The current world average life expectancy of man according to Wikipedia is 67.2 years. And when someone does make it to their 80's or 90's we consider that they're doing just great.

LIFESPAN OF SOME CELLS IN THE HUMAN BODY

CELL TYPE LIFESPAN

Note: Studies have shown that few cells live as long as the individual they belong to without renewal. A majority, if not all, the cells making up the cerebral cortex belong to this small group. The life span of some other human cells are as follows:

Granulocytes:eosinophils basophils, neutrophils 10 hours to 3 days
Stomach lining cells 2 days
Sperm cells 2-3 days
Stomach lining cells 2 days
Colon cells 3-4 days
Epithelia of small intestine 1 week or less
Platelets 10 days
Skin epidermal cells 2 - 4 weeks
Lymphocytes 2 months - a year (highly variable)
Red blood cells 4 months
Stomach lining cells 2 days
Macrophages months - years
Endothelial cells months - years
Pancreas cells 1 year or more
Bone Cells 25 - 30 years

Along with being so varied and having different jobs, each and every cell needs the appropriate nutritional support to be healthy and working optimally.

No matter what cells you are working with, if you have an injury or illness in your stomach, your blood, your blood vessels or even a broken bone; you must consider the lifespan of that particular part of the body to determine your result.

If you gave your body the correct raw ingredients and the ability to direct those raw ingredients correctly; just how long would it take before that injury or illness would be corrected?

The 8 Essential sugars (monosaccharides or glyconutritionals) are needed for the best possible outcome or optimal health!

This is because they help direct the DNA or RNA of the body, or we could say the blueprint of the body.

So, you see when considering the lifespan of human cells, this is very helpful in determining just how effective our nutritional program truly is.

I'll use myself as an example. A few weeks ago I injured my knee. This involved the meniscus which is cartilage in the knee joint. Now, at my age (almost 68) it is easy to injure something. I have been in a great deal of pain, couldn't walk or just hobbled around. Now, believe me - I didn't like it at all. I love to move!

I was taking my regular nutritional regimen, but I was not experiencing my regular great health. I had an injury, and I needed to get great nutrition to the cells of that cartilage or meniscus.

So, finally I realized that I might need to boost my nutrition because of my injury. So I obtained extra glycol-nutritionals, and I began to take quite a bit. You see, this is a food, not a drug, and as such you need to take the correct amount of the right ingredients to obtain the desired results.

I took the extra GlycoNutrients to help support the building and repair of my injured cartilage. After just a couple of days of the additional glyconutrients, I have begun to really improve, and now I am able to walk around the house without screeching out in pain.

Glyconutrients, essential sugars, or monosaccarides are listed in many PDR's under immune support. But they are capable of so more than that. They are essential for cell-to-cell communication and the structure and function of the cell.

And one more very important function I want to mention, they help the body to produce it's own stem cells. Yes, people spend many thousands of dollars having injections of stem cells (from frightening sources I will add) yet, by taking the correct amount of glyconutritionals your body will produce your own stem cells - helping support health at the cellular level.

Do you feel that that is good to know when you are ill or have some injury? I think it's pretty important. Not only that but it is effective and can save you thousands and thousands of dollars-talk about cost effective.

8 Essential Sugars by David Wolfe, JD

Medium and long chain sugars are often called "polysaccharides" or "glyconutrients." Once the sugar chain becomes medium to long in length, the sugar begins to become bitter in flavor. In simple terms, bitter polysaccharides or glyconutrients are one of the healthiest substances we can ingest especially when still found in their natural state in whole organic raw foods, superfoods, and herbs.
Polysaccharides (glyconutrients) are:

* Soothing
* Produce healthy youthful skin cells,
* Help keep us slim and trim
* Help detoxify our bodies
* Improve and educate our immune system
* Increase our brain power.

Sometimes you have the right ingredients, just not the right amount.

For instance, what if you are dehydrated, and you only drink 1 or 2 ounces of water, is that the right ingredient for dehydration? Yes. Is it enough? No. So, not only do we need the correct ingredients, we also need the right amounts of them.

As of yet, I haven't found the life span of the cartilage involved, so I don't know that variable yet, (I am still researching) but, I do know that I am getting much better.

Learn all you can about your own body. Consider the life span of your cells, and the correct nutrition to keep all your cells healthy. It is important to build and support our health at the cellular level. If we learn diligently we will increase our life expectancy through good nutrition.

Inform yourself so you and those you love will live an optimal life span.
