Are You Getting Enough Choline In Your Diet? [Video]

January 4, 2017

Maybe you’ve never heard of choline, but this nutrient is important for your health. It’s particularly important for facilitating a healthy brain that stays functional as the body ages.

Choline is a component of acetylcholine, which acts as a neurotransmitter. The nutrient has been shown to activate parts of the brain responsible for memory and help prevent their degradation.

Unfortunately, a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that 90 percent of Americans aren’t getting enough choline. While nutritionists previously believed that the body could produce this nutrient on its own, more recent research suggests that this isn’t true.

So how do you get the recommended 550 milligrams of choline each day? Eggs, fresh milk and yogurt are good sources, as are legumes like lima beans and lentils. But one of the best sources is grass-fed beef liver.
