In order for us to continue living, our cells need to continue to divide.  Studies show that the average person’s cells multiply about 50 times and then you begin to decline and die.  It is nature’s way.  We are already living longer then people did just a generation ago, thanks to advances in medical science.  However, as we live our lives, our cells are subjected to disease, stress, infection  and all kinds of problems with the pollutants in the air and water, not to mention the toxic content of the foods we eat, and all kinds of other negative effects that happen, as we go about the process of growing up and getting old.
