What Are These Cell Batteries?” What are these tiny cellular batteries, exactly? The batteries are actual microscopic structures embedded in the membranes surrounding all living cells inside your body. The scientific name for these electrical energy units is the sodium/potassium pumps. Converting ATP into physical energy you feel in your muscles as strength and stamina and sense in your brain as mental acuity and clarity is what these tiny batteries do 24 hours a day. These batteries do that by pumping electrically charged minerals, allowing the free travel of water and other nutrients in and out of the cell around the clock. These microscopic batteries seem to function in a manner similar to the turbine action in water dams that produces enough electricity to light a whole town simply by allowing water to move around the turbine generating a tremendous amount of electric energy. When optimum amounts of water and minerals are available in and around the cells of your body, these cellular batteries pump water and minerals at optimum rates as they use more and more ATP, creating more and more physical and mental energies instead of sort of “storing” the ATP as fat. It is that simple! Depending on cell type, there are roughly between 1 and 30 million such batteries on the surface of each human cell. Increased mineral intake stimulates the activities of each battery moving 200 mineral particles across the membrane every second. (1 million ...
