Your body has approximately:
30,000,000,000,000 Cells
and
30,000,000,000,000,000 Mitochondria!!!
*
So yeah, mitochondria are very important.
*
Everything goes in cycles.
So it surprises me there's not yet a word "mitocycle".
*
Mitochondria were first seen with optical microscopes in the late 1800's.
In the 1950's electron microscopes gave us our first good look at them.
*
Now we know that they are extremely important for health.
And that a lot of modern foods and lifestyles have proved harmful to them.
*
When will we have mitometers?
What is the optimal population?
Are your mitos high right now, or low?
Are they wiggling fast or slow?
What are their natural cycles?
I believe the term "mitocycle", will be important in the future.

It's been 134 years since the first published drawings of mitochondria

Now we have some amazing videos:
Look at these guys wiggle! We are wiggling worms!
