| Getting Older No Longer Means Getting Fatigued And Sick Contrary to popular belief, increasing feelings of fatigue are a reflection of a person’s health, not their age. That’s due in large part to mitochondria, which are tiny compartments inside individual cells. Responsible for converting oxygen and food to energy, mitochondria determine how quickly a person ages or gets sick. Therefore, if mitochondria wear down, energy levels decrease, and the aging process is accelerated. |
