The Healthy Cells Concept
Immune system fitness and whole body wellness start with what we like
to call the "Healthy Cell Concept"
Developed by Al Carter, the The Healthy Cell Concept, now enjoying its
14th year of world exposure, has been studied, followed, recommended by
doctors, health professionals and clients of all shapes and sizes.
It is really quite simple. Have the Cytologists, Physiologists, Biologists
find out exactly what the cell utilizes, needs, wants, what the problems
are down in Cell Town, how the cell "thinks" and behaves. Then
take good notes.
Understanding basic "Cytology" (actually quite fascinating
to all of us here) will motivate you to modify four (4) areas of your
life that are under your control. Yes. YOU help your cells perform their
functions well (...or not).
Cells, performing their specific functions as intended, can heal the
body faster, delay the aging process ("aging is a myth" says
Al) achieve a healthy body composition, remain disease and pain free for
longer durations... not to mention the energy by day and the deep sleep
waiting for you at night. Your body is made up of 3 trillion of these
little rascals (give or take a few million), busy doing their job 24x7x365,
even while you sleep! ...And what have you done for them lately? Approaching
health and wellness on a cellular level, from a cell's point of view,
we learn many amazing and valuable things about our bodies.
Concept
One: In order for your cells to be healthy, there are four contributing
factors you control by the decisions you make and the habits you form:
If just one of these quadrants is neglected the result can be illness,
discomfort, pain, decrease in productivity... well, you get the idea.
Needless to say, knowledge in these four areas is power:
1) Cell Food - In order for the cells to operate, replicate, grow and
repair, they need the amazing ingredients of Mother Nature's organic green
foods. You are, quite literally, what you eat. Scary. Question is, do
you consume people food or cell food? Your dietary content of cellular
food could improve. Your cells are requesting, right now, even as you
read this, for you to add Wheatgrass, Blue Green Micro Algae, Kelp, Bioflavonoids,
Chlorophyll, Yellow Dock, Acerola Cherry and Rose Hips to your morning
oatmeal. Or, if this doesn't sound appealing to your affinity for people
food (I don't blame you), keep reading. We will share how you can put
all of these together, wrap them into tablets and cover in a smooth organic
mint plant extract. Ah, yes. Better. Much. [ top ]
2) Cell Environment - Your cells are surrounded by fluid (called interstitial
fluid). Since most of it is composed of water, it is safe to say that
the purity of consumed water and the correct trace minerals available
in the water are critical to your cell environment. The amount of water
consumed is also just as important. Dehydration causes loss of some functions
of the body. "A reduction of 4 to 5% in body water could result in
a decline of up to 20% in overall work performance." -A.C. Guyton,
MD. As we age, our body's ability to indicate thirst decreases. As a result,
dizziness, some headaches, visual problems and even mental clarity are
effected by the decrease in blood volume. You can improve your own Cell
Environment by drinking plenty of pure water and supplementing your diet
with a perfectly mineralized Cell Food. [ top ]
3) Cell Communication - Your cells communicate and act in unison partly
as a result of transmission between them and the brain. If transmission
isn't clear then the cells and organs do not function optimally. Another
form of intra-cell communication is the fascinating orchestration of elemental
exchange around the cell membranes. Examples include: receptor sites,
neurotransmitters, the 'sodium-potassium pump', the entire endocrine system
(hormones released, stimulated/inhibited) the exchange of food, oxygen,
elimination of waste and bi-products of caloric expenditure (breakdown
of food sources to produce ATP and then the bi-products of the breakdown
of the stored chemical energy within the ATP molecules to perform cellular
activities). There are nutritional ways you could enhance and "condition"
your cellular communication.
This is a broad area of cell health. In addition to nutrition and exercise,
science is finding and recording the significant positive influences that
meditation, prayer, love, relaxation, peace, massage and others, are having
on our cell communication and whole-body organ-tissue coordination. (Say
that ten times fast) Some call this the mind-body link, an area of pychosematics.
Others place these with spirituality. However you choose to categorize
them, these are time-tested practices, habits, decisions that can influence
even the tiniest of cells. They come highly recommended! It is exciting
to learn what we always knew, intuitively. [ top ]
4) Cell Exercise - No, the cells don't have muscles! However, muscles
are made up of specialized cells. Benefits typically enjoyed as a result
of regular exercise are the products of improvement within and around
the cells. (Case in point: increased mitochondria count in response to
increased cardiovascular demand) Some improvements occur not only for
the muscle cells, but for just about every cell type in the body. For
example, the amazing mechanisms that provide balance and coordination
for all body movement (cerebellum, CNS, joint proprioceptors, inner ear)
are also made of connected groups of specialized cells. Like muscle cells,
these adapt to demands created by exercise. An exercise that places these
cells in an unfamiliar environment, such as jumping and performing Rebound
Aerobics rather than walking on solid ground, more effectively challenges
these cells, leading to the conditioning of these cells within their specific
function. This includes the creation of skill set memory and series of
movement adjustments for the next time the same activity is performed.
This process is what we refer to when describing the phenomenon of increased
coordination, rhythm, timing, dexterity and kinesthetic awareness. Or,
simply put, "I'm more comfortable with it now."
It is fun asking, "Did you know that jumping up and down can actually
improve the flow of interstitial fluid between the cells?" The answer
to this question will help you understand how you can assist your white
blood cells in their combat efforts. Interstitial fluid movement decreases
localized swelling (lymphatic system stimulation) while circulating your
body's defenses (mild immune system response), allowing access to problem
areas by the most admirable, bio-specialized cells ever to call your body
"home". Sure. Move your troops to the front lines where the
battle is hottest. Prevent illness. Your immune system's ability to fight
foreign intruders, disease, viruses, cancer, bacteria; combined with your
lymphatic system's ability to prevent inflamation (edema) is crucial to
your wellness. Aerobic exercise helps create better circulation, which
affects every thing else in the Healthy Cell Concept. Rebounding is one
of the best forms of cell exercise!
