Health! Your most valuable asset

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. 

No behavior changes will allow humans to live forever even though our internal system seems to be designed for that very purpose. Science promotes a strong healthy immune system as your best defense against all illness it will not prevent death. Eventually, enough cell death will result in full death, but why let it happen sooner than later.

Cells were believed to have been first discovered in 1665 and given the name based on their tiny appearance. The cellular science we have today would blow the minds of those scientist from centuries before.

Cells come in different shapes, sizes, and functions. Our body is constantly replacing cells and we have a variety of cells our body has to monitor. 

The commonly known cells are (in alphabetic order) blood, bone, egg, fat, muscle, nerve, skin, and sperm.
