Mitochondria are required for life, and dysfunction leads to chronic disease and shortened life expectancy. Unfortunately, suboptimal mitochondrial function is very common. While genetic mutations play a role, far more common is the damage from nutrient deficiencies and regular accidental and intentional exposure to mitotoxic metals and chemicals. Alcohol, antibiotics, metals, bisphenols, phthalates, pesticides and herbicides, and statins-the list is long-all impair mitochondrial function. Fortunately, toxins can be avoided and their elimination from the body can be enhanced. In addition, many natural health molecules help protect mitochondria and restore function.
线粒体是生命所必需的，其功能障碍会导致慢性疾病并缩短预期寿命。不幸的是，线粒体功能欠佳的情况非常普遍。虽然基因突变会起一定作用，但更常见的是营养缺乏以及经常意外和有意接触线粒体毒性金属和化学物质所造成的损害。酒精、抗生素、金属、双酚、邻苯二甲酸盐、杀虫剂和除草剂以及他汀类药物——不胜枚举——都会损害线粒体功能。幸运的是，可以避免接触毒素，还能加强从体内清除毒素。此外，许多天然健康分子有助于保护线粒体并恢复其功能。
