Story at-a-glance

A body without cellular energy is like a car without fuel. Providing your body with the right nutrition, exercise, sleep and sunlight exposure is essential to maintaining and replenishing these vital energy reserves
Exercise, particularly interval training and resistance exercises, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and enhances your body's capacity to generate energy and improve metabolic health
Quality sleep enables cellular repair. This allows your mitochondria to restore and regenerate through processes like mitophagy and aligns your body's circadian rhythms
Sunlight exposure directly fuels mitochondria by converting red and near-infrared light into electrons. This supports ATP production and synchronizes your body's internal energy systems
To safely benefit from sun exposure, eliminate vegetable oils from your diet first. They contain linoleic acid that accumulates in your skin and increases your risk of UV-induced oxidative stress and sunburn
