Mitochondrial Health

The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and autism is an area of active research. Mitochondria are the cellular powerhouses that generate energy and are involved in many cellular processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction refers to a reduction in the normal functioning of mitochondria, which can lead to a range of health problems.

Studies have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the development and manifestation of autism. Some individuals with autism have been found to have genetic mutations or other alterations in the mitochondrial DNA that lead to impaired energy production.

There is more and more evidence that abnormal function of the mitochondria system causes autism along with other diseases associated with low energy levels. Therefore, it’s important to maintain the proper function of these organelles in our bodies so we can stay healthy and feel good mentally and physically
