Abstract
If your body were a train, what would give it the power to move? The food you eat, which is burned by the train’s engine. Do you know how many engines your body has? Thousands of millions! They are called mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny structures contained within the cells of your body that burn food, providing energy. The power of each mitochondrion is due to its own gearwheel: the circular mitochondrial DNA. There are many gears in each mitochondrion. Together, they regulate the mitochondrion’s ability to produce energy. Obesity modifies both the abundance and the function of the mitochondrial DNA, altering the ability of the body to efficiently produce energy, with some differences between males and females. Eating healthy foods not only makes you slim, but also boosts your mitochondria and makes you powerful!
