The cells of the body are somewhat like mirrors or glass.  In order for them to effectively serve their intended purpose, they must be clean.  In order for them to function to their maximum potential, they must undergo periods of labor (usage), cleansing and rest.  How is this accomplished on a daily basis, and how does this relate to longevity?
