For them to thrive, healthy habits are non-negotiable, but you can also give your ‘mitos’ an added boost with some carefully chosen supplements. The right combo of habits and supplements translates to more energy, mental sharpness, and an added layer of protection against the most common diseases of aging. There’s no better therapy than that!

Why Choline is So Essential for Your Health – and How to Get Yours

If you’re not familiar with choline, well, you’re not alone. In fact, choline wasn’t even recognized by American health authorities as “essential” until 1998, so it is, in its way, a relative newcomer. And, while our bodies do produce some small amounts of choline, we need to be mindful to consume a sufficient amount of this essential nutrient in our diets or else we’ll be in trouble. It turns out that choline plays a key role in many of the, yes, essential things that the human brain and body need to do, from thinking clearly to smoothly pumping blood to burning fat for energy.
