Where do we get our energy? Under natural conditions our food is converted into a bio-available form, and transported to our cells. The mitochondria of the cell then uses that bio-ready food as fuel, and creates ATP, the energy we use for every single function of the body.

How Much Food Is In Our Food?

How do we assure that our cells can create the ATP energy we need? Every cell must be provided the appropriate fuel. This is not always an easy task. With the processed food diet that is so popular these days we are consuming many preservatives and artificial ingredients that cannot be considered “food”. We’ve been spun into discussions of how much fat, salt, sugar and other controversial ingredients are in our food. Our first question should be “how much food is in my food”. Getting an answer to that question is not easy.

Take, for example, a well known potato snack: the Baltimore Sun reported that their potato content was only 42 percent, and so they could not be considered a “potato chip”. What makes up the other 58 percent? A quote from the article states: “A can of Pringles, like a fine Cabernet Sauvignon, could be put down in your cellar, then retrieved years later to be enjoyed. I doubt that many snackers “cellared” their Pringles, but it was possible.”

There is a big difference from the long-term storage of processed foods through preservatives and the long-term qualities retained in all-natural rice that is able to sustain the enzymes within its grains.

How much food is in our foods? When we talk about quality of life isn’t it reasonable to look at the parallel of what we provide our cells as bio-available food versus the quality of energy and vitality that returns to us.

When we’re experiencing physical issues it’s serious business, and we completely respect the simple fact that all we want is to get better. One of the tools we have available to us is our ability to shift our focus and energies through humor and lightheartedness. This video by Ellen Wardzala turns the book-level knowledge about our digestion and energy into a fun rap-style experience. ChilloutRelax.info is happy to share with you this video:

My Anatomy & Physiology prof performs this to help her classes remember how food digests. If you wanna know the process to digest your food, you gotta mix it with saliva, and chew it good. Salivary amylase begins the starch digestion; peristalsis sends the bolus in the right direction. Gastroesophageal sphincter will let it through to the stomach where the mixing waves will churn the goo. Chyme is gastric juice mixed with the food you ate; it doesnt look like anything thats on your plate. HCl and pepsin denature and then cleave proteins to polypeptides, before the chyme can leave – into the duodenum which starts the small intestine, where the steps will be completed of the chemical digestion. Enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver are added to the chyme like sewage to a river. Fat is broken up by the salts in bile, and digested by the pancreatic lipase for awhile. Trypsin is a pancreatic protease, along with chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. These will cleave the larger peptides to smaller in the goo, so the small intestine enzymes can hydrolyze them, too. Carbs are further hydrolyzed by pancreatic amylase; DNA into nucleotides by pancreatic nuclease. So whats left for duodenum, jejunum, and the ileum to do before the chyme becomes the feces in the cecum? Are you kidding? Microvilli house the BBEs Which will finish the hydrolysis of all of these. Lactase, maltase, sucrase, dextrinase and glucoamylase; aminopeptidase, dipeptidase, carboxypeptidase; nucleotides …

“Helicases separate nucleic acid duplexes into their component strands using energy from ATP hydrolysis. The crystal structure of this DNA helicase from bacteriophage T7, reveals an hexagonal arrangement of six identical subunits. Surprisingly, the ring is not sixfold symmetric, but is slightly squished. A model for the mechanism of how the enzyme might work explains this structural asymmetry. Of the six potential ATP binding sites, two opposing ones bind ATP tightly, two are more likely to bind ADP and phosphate, and two are empty. These three states may interconvert in a coordinate fashion as ATP is hydrolyzed, creating a ripple effect that continuously runs around the ring. Because of these conformational changes, the loops that extend into the center hole of the ring—that are proposed to bind DNA—oscillate up and down, as seen in this cross section. The oscillating loops might pull a DNA strand through the central hole, thus unwinding the double helix in the process. A frontal view shows the full dynamics of this fascinating protein machine.”

Why is ATP so important? How is a cell supposed to function, do its job, heal itself without the energy it needs? When we look at PXP we look at tiny particles of bioready nutrients that can enter the cell and be used by the mitochondria to produce ATP.

Hey class! Today our teachers are describing how ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is dephosphorylated into ADP (adenosine diphosphate), and how ADP phosphorylates to make ATP: The ATP Cyle. When you remove a phosphate group from ATP, it is called dephosphorylation. Dephosphorylation is an exergonic reaction, meaning it is a reaction that releases energy. When ATP goes through this process, ADP is made. Differently, during phosphorylation to make ADP into ATP, a phosphate group is added on. This is an endergonic reaction, meaning this process requires energy. By Aaron Coleman, Anna Jacoby and Abigail Gavens

Energy in cells are accounted for through metabolic processes, which store and produce the energy. One of these metabolic processes is known as the ATP cyle. The ATP cycle is how ATP and ADP are produced in cells. ATP, also known as Adenosine Triphosphate, contains one adenosine molecule and three phosphate groups. ADP or Adenosine Diphosphate also contains one adenosine molecule, but contains two phosphate groups. Dephosphorylation is the process that makes ADP. It removes one of the phosphate groups from ATP, therefore ADP only has two phosphate groups. Dephosphorylation gives off energy, which is why it is known as an exergonic reaction. The energy given off by dephosphorylation is used for many functions in the cell, like many enzymatic reactions. There are also functions in the cell that require energy. ATP is made by a process called phosphorylation, which is what adds a phosphate group to make ATP. Phosphorylation is an endergonic reaction, which requires energy. The energy used to phosphorylate ATP may come out of the oxidation of carbohydrates. Active transport is another example of an energy-consuming process in the cell. The energy stored in ATP provides the universal energy for cells to function.

ATP is cellular energy. How do we get it, why do we need it? What is the relationship between PXP, our mitochondria, which produces ATP, and our cellular health and overall function? PXP provides pure food in a form that can get to the cells and fuel the mitochondria so that enough ATP is available to us for normal healthy function. There are many signs that tell us when we are low in ATP energy, such as muscle cramps.

This amusing video talks about ATP, what it is and how ATP give fuel for sustaining life.

Mitochondria and cellular aging – Dr James Oschman, PhD: The components of the cells are so small, one millionth the size of a pin head. The mitochondria, one part of the cell, is the powerhouse of the cell creating ATP energy that fuels cellular function. What role does our mitochondria play in cellular aging? The mitochondria have a electron transport chain, and contain about 615 different proteins. This Nobel prize research has opened the door to greater understanding of mitochondria function. The ATP energy that our mitochondria produces is the immediate source of energy for nerve conduction and muscular contraction. “ATP activates important processes related to injury repair and regeneration..”.

PXP is delivered to your cells as pure food that fuels mitochondia for the production of ATP. Is PXP a tool for the prevention of cellular aging? It is easy to see that there is a straight line connecting pure food delivered on a cellular level, and our ability to function, repair, and retain our vitality.
