Help coming from heart
Lecithin is a phospholipid, a naturally
occurring, fat-like compound present in whole grains and legumes, as well as
liver and eggs. The highest concentrations in nature are found in egg yolks and
soybeans. Lecithin is vital for good health as it performs several important
functions for the body. It is a key building block of all cell membranes. It is
also the foremost dietary source of the lipotrope choline. Lipotropes play an
important role in fat metabolism, helping to break down cholesterol into
essential fatty acids, and helping to transport them out of the liver to be
oxidized for energy, or eliminated from the body.
Studies have indicated
that high serum levels of the amino acid derivative homocysteine appears to be a
major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have indicated that
certain vitamins such as B6, B12, and folic acid help support a reduction in
serum homocysteine levels. Choline performs an important supporting role in such
action by transferring methyl groups hydrocarbons to the vitamins, which is
needed in order for them to function.
Due to its high choline content,
lecithin may provide excellent nutritional support for a healthy cardiovascular
system.
Aside from its supporting role in fat metabolism and
cardiovascular function, choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitting hormone
acetylcholine. Research suggests that cognition, intelligence, memory and mood
are regulated in part by acetylcholine metabolism in the brain.
