2. What is Apoptosis Apoptosis is the natural means by which organisms inside your body eliminate harmful or bad cells. The "bad" cells (like cancer cells) turn on themselves and commit suicide. The "bad" cells die off leaving the "good" cells untouched. http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
3. Apoptosis This process (apoptosis) has also been called "cell death by suicide" and "programmed cell death" (or PCD). http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
4. What happens to cells when they go through apoptosis? In apoptosis, bad cells shrink instead of growing larger or spreading They may develop blemishes or bubble-like bumps on their surface Their nucleus, or center of the cell, may disintegrate They may break into very small, wrapped fragments. This breaking down process causes the bad cells to "commit suicide" on themselves. http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
5. Apoptosis Receptors There are also "receptors" in the body that seek out and find "bad cells" that are in process of breaking down and "eat" them, removing them from the body. http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
6. When You Have a Low Immune System While this process called apoptosis commonly happens within our bodies everyday, low or compromised immune systems in effect slow down the process of keeping free radicals (or bad cells) away from our bodies. http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
7. How To Strengthen Your Immune System Get plenty of sleep every night. Rest is crucial to a healthy immune system. Eat healthy foods high in anti-oxidants Take a high quality supplement daily to promote optimal immune health. http://tinyurl.com/2ebnpgk
9. Promote Apoptosis By eating right, getting your full quota of sleep every night, and taking high quality supplements that promote immune health, you will be enabling your immune system to promote apoptosis. http://tinyurl.com/2fgaj6j
