Health Benefits of Rebounding
 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.

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.

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
