Oftentimes when people look to support health they focus on nutrition and digestion... And although that isn't wrong, it will prove ineffective and will fall short if cell health and function are not addressed.
Without boring you and taking you back to high school biology class, it's important to remember that cells are the basic building blocks of all living things!
Your dog's body is composed of trillions of cells, all with their own specialized function, that is crucial to vitality, longevity, and even basic survival.
Ultimately, cells are the basic structures of all living organisms and they provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food and carry out vital functions.
For those who skip this step and who fail to implement action in their care routine that addresses their dog's cell health and function, it's the equivalent of trying to put water in a bucket that has holes in it. The answer isn't to put more water in the bucket, it's to first repair the holes!
If you spend all your hard-earned money and limited time focused on nutrition and digestion alone and your dog's cells are in a state of distress or disease; the cells cannot and will not properly assimilate the nutrition you send in.
That will lead not only to expensive nutrient-dense poop piles but is also the contributing factor to many dogs that express nutrient sensitivity and intolerance.
Dog owners often spend hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars and countless hours analyzing what allergies or sensitivities their dog has to a certain protein or ingredient... Open bag after open bag of dog food wasted.
All this frustration and effort without any regard to ensuring the cells of the body are in a state to utilize any of the nutrition entering the body!
Imbalance and dysfunction of cells are major contributors to disease in your dog!
The question is - Are you currently addressing cell health and function?
In the next part of this series, we will explore ways that you can effectively support cell health and function. Allowing your dog to assimilate nutrition more readily and experience vibrant health from the very core of the body - the cells.
