Mitochondrial Nutrition and Healthy Living
Mitochondria are like a power plant inside our cells, providing the energy needs of the cell. It works with a healthy diet and the necessary vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
- Balanced Nutrition: A healthy diet is important to provide the nutrients that mitochondria need. A diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals supports mitochondrial function.
- Antioxidants: Antioxidants protect against the harmful effects of free radicals and prevent damage to mitochondria. Consuming foods rich in antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables and green tea helps protect the mitochondria.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids such as fish, walnuts and chia seeds support mitochondria function. These fatty acids increase the elasticity of the cell membrane and support mitochondrial health.
- Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic exercise improves mitochondrial efficiency by increasing oxygen utilization. Regular aerobic exercise is important to nourish mitochondria.
- Reduced Sugar Consumption: Excessive sugar consumption can damage mitochondria health. Avoiding sugar, as well as processed foods and sugary drinks, supports mitochondrial function.
- Vitamins, minerals and enzymes essential for mitochondrial function: B vitamins, Co-enzyme Q10, 16 amino acids, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, fatty acids. Mitochondria prevent aging and cancerization of cells. It helps to break insulin resistance and provides a clear consciousness and emotional state. It is also of great importance in preventing infections and inflammation.
In our hospital, we prepare you for a healthier and longer life with our intravenous applications under the supervision of a dietician and functional medicine specialist on mitochondrial nutrition.
The vitamins, enzymes and amino acids necessary for the healthy functioning of mitochondria are shown in the tables below.
