Orthomolecular Nutrition
Every living cell in your body requires a number of chemical nutrients in its immediate environment, the extracellular fluid. Your body's organs, tissues, and cells have two main functions: 1- growth and repair and 2- their specific assignments. For example the kidney helps rid the blood of chemicals not required; the adrenal glands secrete hormones; the skin repels foreign organisms and excretes wastes; the brain receives impulses, relays them to other portions of the body and initiates activity. Your brain also perceives, thinks, feels and controls behavior. Poor nutrition will slow down or stop the functions of these organs, tissues and cells.
