Listen "The Mitochondria and You: Understanding Free Radicals and Oxidative Stress"
Episode Synopsis
Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. They are responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary molecule used by cells as a source of energy, and also play a role in other cellular processes, including signalling, cellular differentiation, cell cycle regulation, and cell growth. In this episode, Nicole explains the importance of protecting mitochondria from damage to prevent chronic illnesses, and ageing. Nicole highlights the role of antioxidants and certain nutrients in protecting against oxidative stress, and also shares practical dietary tips for incorporating these nutrients into your diet to support mitochondrial health and, by extension, overall your well-being.DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.
