The need to consume food is a priority and basic
The need to consume food is a priority and basic in all human beings.
Our body's use of food is a process that goes beyond chewing and swallowing. That is why feeding and nourishing ourselves are always united, both actions being equally important in order to lead a healthy life.

A good nutrition is of vital importance to our health
Keeping our body in perfect health is of vital importance in helping to maintain a proper health of our mind.
Our brain consumes about a quarter of the oxygen our body receives. This is the organ that consumes the most oxygen, and for that a good diet is necessary
If our lungs lose a good part of their ability to transfer oxygen, and if the arteries that are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood to the brain are blocked or hardened for long years of bad eating habits the result is to be a fast and dangerous mental deterioration.
Good and correct feeding are a priority if we want to reach an advanced age, with a good quality and mental agility, which can be in a totally optimal state.

There are studies that indicate that it can help in some cases of deficiency or loss of memory in older people. A simple way to supplement the diet with choline is using lecithin or Phosphatidylcholine.
Phosphatidylserine - It is one of the nutrients that has aroused most interest in recent years.
PS is essential for the functioning of all body cells, but where it is most concentrated is in the brain.
Phosphatidylserine is a special class of fatty substance used by the body to, among other things, maintain the health of nerve cells. Brain cells contain a large amount of this substance, especially in the cell membrane, but its concentration decreases with age.
If we consider that the cell membrane has very important functions that range from regulating the substances that enter and leave the cell and their internal composition, we can begin to suspect that phosphatidylserine is of great relevance for brain activity.
A good and proper diet should be rich in fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, nuts, lean meats, fish and in priority of ecological and integral origin, to achieve a complete and good quality of nutrients necessary for proper health in every way physical and mental.
