​Things to KNOW​ About ​​Choline:

​Choline is an organic water-soluble compound that's normally grouped with the B vitamins because of its similar properties and functions. Choline is a structural component of all cell membranes in the body. The majority of choline ​is found in specialized fat molecules that make up the cell membranes called phospholipids. 

Although small amounts of choline can be made by the liver, it's not enough to support good health, so the majority of this vitamin must be consumed in the diet. ​

Choline works with vitamin B9 (Folate) during pregnancy for proper growth and fetal development.
​
Since choline helps metabolize fat and cholesterol, a deficiency can cause an abnormal amount of fat deposits in the liver, which can result in a condition called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

We’ve all been trained to credit the diet when we lose weight—and blame ourselves when we gain it all back. The word “diet” in this sense is defined as “restricting oneself to small amounts of specific foods to lose weight.”
What if there was just one New Year’s resolution—that if you kept it—could change your life forever?
And we’d all have bruised booties and a hard time sitting down! 🤣
🍎 “An apple a day does keep the doctor away!”
Don’t we all just want to be acknowledged, accepted, appreciated, and loved? 💕
Salad jars are convenient and portable way to get a good amount of your daily veggies in one meal.
