Chill Out! Relax! Restore Optimal Health and Calm Energy with Alfa PXP Forte

Posts Tagged ‘cell’

Cells need fuel to do their work, and without adequate fuel it is unreasonable for us to expect our cells to function at their peak. What are your goals? To improve your thought processes, clearing your mind and increasing your mental function? What about detoxification, clearing the health inhibiting waste products from your cells so that the aches and pains go away? What about those who are already in great shape? Can you, without damaging steroids, improve your performance?

Cellular Health

It all gets down to our cells. Overall health begins on a cellular level. What exactly does this mean? How much of our ability to perform and thrive in this world is controlled by the ability to produce energy in our cells? This is where the wonder of PXP and the polysaccharide peptides come into play: pure, real food that cells can readily use to produce energy.

Inside Our Cells

This video talks about the amazing inner workings of our cells, for information and entertainment. You can also explore the world of PXP, and the energy-producing glyco nutrition world.

Cell biologists are continuing to learn more about cells and how they work. Our cells are vastly important, each containing the mitochondria, the machine that converts fuel delivered to the cell into the energy that the cell needs for its many functions.

Physical Healing

When we talk about physical healing, or even just normal healthy functioning on a daily basis, where do we need to begin? Is it in the foods we eat? Many of us are stringent on our diet, even supplementing that diet with an array of vitamins and minerals. What does this mean within the body? How much of your nutrition passes through your system unused?

The Inner Working of Cells

In this video we explore the inner working of the cell. What do we know about food, energy produced and released, and ATP energy?

“With amazing tools that peer deep into cells, cell biologists are beginning to understand the structure, function and history of these highly organized, complex, chemical factories that are the building blocks of life. Voyage into the microscopic world of prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.”

“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.”

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.

Isn’t it great that we have the ability today to scientifically see the functions that take place deep within the body on a cellular level? Our technology has also given us the ability to demonstrate what we have learned through a vast array of media, such as video. This fun little video look at the role of mitochondria gives us greater insight and understanding of how important it is to nourish the body, giving our cells the resources they need to feed those mitochondria powerplants.

Let’s talk a little more about PXP and the relation of Alfa PXP Forte and our cellular function. It’s not always a matter of what you eat, but whether or not your body can break down those foods and deliver them to the cells. No delivery, no service. PXP is processed through proprietary means that retain the pure food value yet deliver it to the cells. This means resources available to your body to perform its most basic functions, and for mitochondria that is creating energy, a vital role in our physical, mental and emotional ability to function.

Mighty Mitochondria Theme Lyrics:
Mitochondria are the most important part of the cell We power the others up, yeah we run it for real We bust that ATP up from behind the scenes Others taking credit for our e- to the n-ergy We provide power– ZAP We give it life– WHAT?! We make all your others get up off your molecules LIKE! ATP: Break that glucose down None other can get the job done without Mito-chondrion Power it up, cellular respiration All we need? Water and Oxygen! This a bad time? Save it for later, son! Mitochondria store the energy In the bonds of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Break it down later release the energy The ‘Mighty Mitochondria’ Campaign “We’ve got the POWER!”

“ATP molecules store and supply energy for cellular processes. An ATP molecule contains three building blocks: the flat purine ring system containing multiple nitrogen atoms shown in blue, the ribose sugar in the middle, and the three phosphate groups with the phosphorus atoms shown in yellow.” Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition by Alberts, Bray, Hopkin, Johnson, Lewis, Raff, Roberts, Walter copyright 2004 by Garland Science Publishing

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Organelle, 2 membranes / Outer, inner they contain
Phospholipid bilayers and the other are proteins
They can be round but usually they rod-shaped
Can you guess whats it name?… Mitochondria, yeah!
Organized into 5 distinct compartments
Outer, inner membranes, to the intermembrane space
Then we have some cristae, dont forget the matrix
Thats its structure, thats its frame
Now listen to me when I say

Chorus
Mitochondria
Its the source of the cells power
Via oxidative phosphorylation
Its the Mitochondria

Verse 2
Outer membrane covers the entire outer organelle
Inner membrane is highly impermeable
Folding of the inner membrane, known as cristae
Expands its surface area to generate more ATP
Each 1 to 10 micrometers in size
Contains a high concentrated mixture of enzymes
The matrix makes up the inner remaining space
Containing ribosomes, tRNA, and DNA

Bridge
Power house, like nothing else
In a cell, number 1 organelle
Cellular energy in the form of ATP
The cell relies on its supply
Along with life
You need some energy now
You need some energy now

Verse 3
Mitochondria, origin endosymbiotic prokaryotes
Ancestor from the group known as Proteobacteria
Convert organic materials into energy
Everything we need in the form of ATP
When the energy needs of a cell are high
Mitochondria grow and they divide
When the energy needs of a cell are low
Theyre destroyed, inactive, become idle
Thats the Mitochondria, thats the gist of what it does
Thats the lesson, thats the song, thats the end, now get your groove on!
