Protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress is crucial for their optimal function. Promoting mitochondrial biogenesis helps maintain energy production as we age. Supporting mitochondrial repair and mitophagy (removal of damaged mitochondria) is important for overall mitochondrial health. Strategies for supporting mitochondrial health include caloric restriction, exercise, sleep, stress management, temperature variation, sunlight exposure, and certain nutrients and supplements.
