Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So let's talk about how to strengthen your red blood cell. But before I talk about

that, I need to explain what a red blood cell does in your body. They're called erythrocytes.

And they're there as a method of carrying oxygen. And what they have in this red blood cell,

it's like a sack with a bunch of hemoglobin. And that's basically filled with iron and it connects to oxygen so it allows oxygen to be transported

through the body and in one red blood cell you have 270 million hemoglobin molecules so it's

quite a bit of oxygen that cell is carrying your Your body makes 2.4 million red blood cells

every single second. And they're made in a factory inside your long bones. A red blood cell will

last between 100 and 120 days. And it takes about one minute for a red blood cell to travel from your lung all the

way through your body and back to the lung. So what the red blood cell is doing, it's going to the

tiny capillaries and it's getting squished and it's pushing the oxygen into the tissues that way,

and it comes back without oxygen, and then you breathe and it gets reoxygenated.

It just does this over and over and over. The interesting thing about the red blood cell is it has

no nucleus. That's the center of the cell. It has no DNA or RNA. Now what's interesting about that

is that viruses use your DNA to replicate. So the viruses

can't hurt or mess with your red blood cells. Now, as far as the quantity of red blood cell,

you have between 20 and 30 trillion red blood cells. That makes up 70% of all of your cells. So you have a lot of red blood cells

in your body. The other interesting thing about the red blood cell is that it can't use ketones

for fuel. It uses glucose. Now you might say, well, oh, well, where's that going to come from?

Well, your body can very easily
