Do you know what makes your liver healthy? There is one type of vitamin that is responsible for making your liver healthy. Yes you're right...Choline, a member of vitamins B group. Its importance in nutrition was recognized long ago. It came to discover that choline deficiency produced a fatty liver. This vitamin is present in foods as well as in the body in relative large amounts. The body can make choline from methionine, an amino acid, with the aid of course of vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Choline as a colorless, crystalline compound which absorb water quickly. It is highly soluble in water and alcohol. Dilute solutions of choline (less than 4%) are not destroyed by heat. However, when concentrated solutions of choline. However, when concentrated solutions of choline are boiled, it decomposes.
Choline helps in the carrying of fats in the body and prevents accumulation of fat in the body and in the liver. It works with inositol and cholesterol. In blending with fatty acids and phosphorus, it stimulates the creation of lecithin, an important element of nerve cells in the body. Choline is one of the few substances which go through the so-called blood-brain barrier, which ordinarily protects the brain against the effects of variations in the daily diet. It goes directly into the brain cells to produce a chemical that aids memory. Some sources of choline may found in Cereals, pulses and legumes. It’s also in Nuts, oilseeds, vegetables, fish and sea foods.
A prolonged deficiency of choline may cause cirrhosis and the fatty degeneration of the liver, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). On the other hand, Oral administration of large quantities of choline produces adverse side-effects, including diarrhea, nausea, salivation, and depression.
