Choline + Health = Self Love

I can buy myself cauliflowers...getting inspiration from Miley Cyrus during this heart health month. Because when it comes to health, the nutrients you put in your body is the self love you show yourself (just like Miley!)

For example, did you know cauliflower has numerous health benefits, vitamins, minerals and a nutrient called Choline?

What is Choline?

Choline is a nutrient found in many foods and can also be made in the body from the liver in small amounts with numerous amount of benefits.

What does Choline really do for you?

• Regulates memory AND your mood
• Muscle control
• Form the membranes surrounding body cells
• Keeps heart and blood vessels healthy
• Reduces blood pressure

Where do I get Choline from?

• Cruciferous veggies like sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower
• Potatoes and other types of whole grains
• Eggs and meat
• Some beans, nuts and seeds 

Am I getting enough?

The average person is not getting enough Choline.

Even with food and supplements most people are under the recommended amount. The problem with this, is that you typically don’t show deficiency. 

If it drops lower than it should you can experience muscle and liver damage.

Benefits

Studies have shown lower risk of cardiovascular disease from lowered blood pressure.

• Higher intakes have also shown correlation to:
• Better cognitive function such as verbal and visual memory.
• Even with these studies, there is more being done to see if there is any benefit with people with memory problems such as Alzheimers or Dementia. 
• Getting enough Choline is necessary for proper liver function and to prevent Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD.) 

Pro Tip: When it comes to Choline, people should get it from food sources over supplementation.
