How Well The Cell Membrane Is Working Determines How Healthy We Are

Did you ever stop to think about your Cells, let alone how the Cell Membrane works? Me either . . . until after doing all this research and finding out how uric acid build-up happens and what free radicals are, what they do and how they work.

Here's a brief run-through of what I've learned about what the human cell is and how it works and I'll show you how it has everything to do with your gout.

At the microscopic level, we are all made up of trillions of cells and there are about 200 different types of them. Bones, tendons, muscles, our organs . . . they're all made up of different kinds of cells.

For us to really understand how the body works, we need to get ourselves wrapped around how these cells work. Every microscopic cell is an amazing world unto itself; each one takes in nutrients and uses those nutrients to make energy. Each of them even has it's own little set of instructions for what it is supposed to do.

The "permeability" of the cell membrane or cell wall is an immensely sophisticated "organ" in and of itself.

Just like a car engine or a coal-burning power-plant, it takes in fuel (glucose), burns it and releases some exhaust or waste.

The "health" of that cell wall determines our "health". If the fuel can't get in and the waste can't get out . . . things start grinding to a halt.

How long is the question. Most times it's slow and gradual and we just don't notice and we get used to it. We think we're getting old . . . which is sort of true. It just happens way faster and way more severely than it has to.

Due to poor habits and diet, breathing smog, stress and all the other bad stuff we expose ourselves to, that cell membrane starts to get sticky and clogged up.

Free Radical Damage starts the oxidation or "rusting" process and the all sorts of dis-ease sets in.

All the hard living causes (uric)acid build-up and oxidative damage and the body goes into survival mode and begins dumping acid wastes in the fat cells and in our joints to protect our brains and vital organs.

That's where Antioxidants and Alkaline foods and water come in.

Antioxidants slow down and repair the rusting and hold down the inflammation. Alkaline Water and Food bring the body chemistry back into a pH (potential of hydrogen)balance.

Did I bring that around well enough for you to understand what all this cell membrane stuff has to do with gout?

Ok, one more time; stop Free Radical Damage and Balance your pH.
