““Biologically, physical strength comes from mitochondria, which are organelles that generate all of our body's energy. A unique feature of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. Whereas the rest of the body is built on code that is half paternal and half maternal, mitochondrial DNA is entirely maternal and passed down from the mother.””
