We all enter this world with a unique complement of defenses and restoractive mechanisms to help us survive and surmount the trials and tribulations that life throws at us.Our bodies maintain a vigilant surveillance for threts to health and well being,and work deligently to maintain balance and stave off diseased and facilitate repair and replacement of diseased or defective cells and tissues.This innate biologic arsenal include stem cells that reside in the tissues and organs throughout our bodies,which serve to create new cells lost to disease age,or injury.But it is a defense and repair force that requires support in the form of sound nutrition,sleeping patterns,and adoption of health conductive lifestyle measures.
god bleess you
