Change is a constant.

The epithelial cells lining the small intestine turnover every 2-3 days

The epidermal cells of the skin change every 29-45 days

Red blood cells are replaced every 120 days and then recycled

Hepatic cells are exchanged between seasons up to one year

Adipose fat cells are replaced around every 8 years

Skeletal muscle cells turnover about every 15 years

Cardiomyocytes heart muscle cells are made new around 40 years

Neural cells don’t turnover after birth, but we can certainly re-wire them.

Do these numbers clarify that we can most certainly change our health to the good?
