Imagine the trillions of cells floating around in your body as tiny little soldiers. Each group of cells with a specific job to do. They stand their post 24 hours a day 365 days a year. They are diligent in doing their job with every ounce of strength they have.

Humans are a multicellular organism made up of cells which build tissues, and those tissues form organs. If humans were a single-celled organism, protecting life would be simple and straightforward. To stay in full form (good health) the key is to provide each organ and all surrounding tissues with exactly what they need, when they need it. If our human system worked perfectly, we would never die of natural causes, but as we age our bodies deal with the stress of living and the different forms of abuse, we put our bodies through, our cells take a beating and eventually when enough of them can no longer renew at full strength disease strikes. Even if you die from old age, it is because your cells just could not renew at a rate fast enough to replace the decaying and/or dying cells.
