Everything in our body is made up of specialized cells. Are you feeding your body the best components to build a cell? The cell membrane is made up of saturated or monounsaturated fat because they are the most resistant to oxidation or damage along with cholesterol and proteins to make a strong but pliable cell wall if you will. There is a variety of cells but Omega 3 fats are a majority. If not enough of the better fats are available then the cell membrane can be made out of available trans and poly fats that are more susceptible to oxidation or damage. Leaving your cells at risk of damage. Arterial, skin, organ, muscle and ligament cells can become weakened. Each cell has a MAD scientist that will assimilate the components it needs or create to the best of the available items to make itself and allow for duplication.
That's just the cell membrane. What else is inside that we need to feed our bodies? Water, saccharides, proteins and enzymes...
What components are you making available to your body through what you eat? If you don't ingest quality ingredients you will make weakened cells and suffer the consequences at some point in your life.
