The efficacy and role of lecithin and the people it is suitable for

Many people don't quite understand the role of lecithin. So in our daily lives, when we choose to use any items or eat any food, we must learn about it. This is a good protection for ourselves. Especially for women, we must pay attention to this issue so as not to harm our own health.

So what are the functions of lecithin? The following is a detailed introduction so that we can have a better understanding of it and know how to use it best when using it.

The role of lecithin:

1. As the protector of the liver , the cholenaline in phospholipids has an affinity for fat. If there is insufficient cholenaline in the body, it will affect fat metabolism, causing fat to accumulate in the liver, forming fatty liver and even inflammation and swelling. Lecithin can not only prevent fatty liver, but also promote liver cell regeneration. At the same time, phospholipids can lower serum cholesterol levels, prevent cirrhosis and help restore liver function.

2. Positive effect on heart health . In the 1960s, scientists discovered that lecithin may have a heart-protecting effect. Further research finally confirmed that lecithin has a positive effect on heart health. This is because it can regulate the cholesterol content in the human body and effectively reduce the incidence of cholesterol, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease.

3. Promote brain development and enhance memory . Warren Lake, a professor of psychology and doctor of pharmacy at Duke University in North Carolina, USA, mentioned in his report: The offspring of pregnant rats fed with lecithin have significantly better memory in intelligence tests (maze tests) than the offspring of rats not fed with lecithin.

Steven Zeisser, MD, PharmD, professor and director of the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina, chief expert of the conference, said in his congratulatory speech at the conference: "To sum up all the research results on lecithin, we should especially recommend pregnant women to take an appropriate amount of lecithin, which is very important for the intellectual development of their babies." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stipulates that all infant recipes must be supplemented with an appropriate amount of lecithin.

4. As the "scavenger" of blood vessels , lecithin has the function of emulsifying and decomposing fats, which can enhance blood circulation, improve serum lipids, remove peroxides, reduce the cholesterol and neutral fat content in the blood, reduce the retention time of fat in the inner wall of blood vessels, promote the dissipation of atherosclerotic plaques, and prevent the damage of the vascular endothelium caused by cholesterol. Taking lecithin has significant effects on hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol, and can thus prevent and treat arteriosclerosis (hypertension, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage).

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the role of lecithin, but it should be noted that when choosing such things, there are also some methods, and it must be carried out according to regulations. This will not cause any harm to your health, and at the same time, the above effects can be achieved, which is beneficial to the healthy development of the human body.
