Story at-a-glance
- A body without cellular energy is like a car without fuel. Providing your body with the right nutrition is essential to maintaining and replenishing these vital energy reserves
- Nutrition is foundational; whole-food carbohydrates, clean proteins and healthy fats support mitochondrial function and provide essential nutrients for cellular energy production
- Carbohydrates fuel mitochondrial energy production. Whole-food sources like ripe fruits and white rice provide glucose that supports your cellular metabolism without overwhelming metabolic pathways
- Micronutrients like magnesium, B vitamins and polyphenols enhance mitochondrial function and protect against destructive reactive oxygen species
- Avoid dietary components that sabotage your mitochondrial function, such as vegetable oils, refined sugars and ultraprocessed foods
