What is cellular health?
The human body is a biological wonder with trillions of cells working together to sustain life. Each cell within the body carries out a small job and when these small jobs are compounded by all the other cells you get a living human that can walk, talk, think, and live. With so many cells, it only makes sense to organize the human body in some capacity.
The most basic organization of the human body is into its components that increase in complexity and specificity as you go up the levels of organization. At its most basic you have a single cell, and at its most complex, you have an organ system that carries out a specific job.

Body Cells and Tissues
They are active and dynamic, they continually grow and specialize, function, die, and replenish themselves, by the millions every second.
Types of Cells in the Human Body
Cells in the human body number in the trillions and come in all shapes and sizes. These tiny structures are the basic unit of living organisms. Cells comprise tissues, tissues make up organs, organs form organ systems, and organ systems work together to create an organism and keep it alive. Each type of cell in the human body is specially equipped for its role.
Types of cells in the human body
There are over 200 different cell types in the human body. Each type of cells is specialised to carry out a particular function, either solely, but usually by forming a particular tissue. Different tissues then combine and form specific organs, where the organ is like a factory where every type of cell has its own job.
What is a cell?
Cells are the basic building blocks of living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells, all with their own specialised function.
What is Cellular Health?
You likely remember the little diagrams of cells and their structures (organelles) from grade school. A cell is the basic building block of all living things. Your entire body is made up of over seventy-five trillion cells.
What You Need to Know About Cellular Health
Just as there are parts to your car’s engine that you can’t see from the outside, there are interior parts to your cells that work together to keep everything running properly.
What is cellular health?
Cellular health is a concept that explains how your overall health is dependent on the cells in our body and how they are functioning. This includes ensuring cells get adequate nutrients, are protected from external stressors and are functioning to their fullest potential.
