Cell Membrane and Cellular Nutrition.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art7704.asp

You're body is made up of trillions of teeny, tiny cells all clumped together. These cells are the "building blocks" of your physical structure. Everything from the hair on your head right down to the toenails on your toes is made up of cells. This includes your skin, blood, organs and bones.

Each cell is a tiny world where thousands of essential chemical processes are carried out. 

And even though cells vary – blood cells are different from nerve cells and muscle cells are different from bone cells – they all have the same basic structure and cellular nutrition needs.

Each cell is surrounded by a special cell membrane that acts as the cell's security gatekeeper. The cell membrane decides what goes into the cell and what should be kept out. Assimilation is the delicate process where nutrition has to pass through the cell membrane wall into the cell. 
The saying, "You are what you eat," should really be "You are what you're cells assimilate."

For optimum cellular nutrition assimilation, the cell membrane must be soft, healthy and flexible. The nutritional requirements are certain specific "good" fats and amino acids. For this you need to get high quality protein and essential fatty acids, which should include omega 3 fish oil.
