If you worry about dealing with memory loss or Alzheimer’s someday – eat more of this...

Next to cancer, more people worry about getting Alzheimer’s someday than any other disease...

According to new cognitive research from Boston University School of Medicine – there is one food group that can make a BIG difference. Foods rich in Choline can not only reduce the risk of memory loss and Alzheimer’s – but can even make your current memory sharper. Choline is a nutrient in the B vitamin family which our brains depend on throughout our lives – and most Americans don’t get enough of it.

How much choline do you need? The recommendation for men is 550 mg a day – and 425 mg for women. The foods richest in choline aren’t considered favorites for most people. Beef liver and Brussels sprouts are at the top of the list. Salmon, eggs, cauliflower, navy beans, tofu and peanut butter are all really good natural sources of choline too.
