Cell protection and good health

In order to have good health our cells need protection. That is provided for in several ways. One of our major organs, the skin, defends our body from viruses, bacteria, and other things that could harm us. The skin also excretes some waste in our sweat. Our mucus membranes also protect our cell health. Any invaders are destroyed by the mucus secreted by these membranes. Another form of cell protection is through the intestinal flora. These good bacteria live in our intestines. When they are damaged bad bacteria can replace them and we can become ill. There are other forms of cell protection such as tear glands, fever, lymphatic system, antibodies and fighter cells called phagocytes.

Cell health and exercise

How does our body get rid of waste or toxins from our cells? Exercise is a very important way to do this. Exercise daily will help the lymphatic system to filter out
waste when your muscles contract. When you are sedentary your body is not able to remove as much cell waste and you may feel tired and unenergetic.

Cell health and barley grass powder

Before we get into information about barley grass powder we need to learn about the cells in our body and what they need to be healthy. When our cells are healthy then
our body will be healthy.

For cells to function optimally they must have a certain temperature range. For most people the ideal temperature is 98.6 degrees F. The body may have a temperature as low as 77 degrees F without death but cell damage will occur.
Cells will also be damaged with temperatures above 104-106 degrees F. Organs can also
be damaged and that can cause death so it is important to keep the body temperature below 104 degrees F when ill.
