10 Benefits of Choline
Benefit #9: Helps Protect Nerve Fibers
Whether you are in pain, in a cold or hot environment, or you are hungry, you become aware of your circumstances through the communication that happens between your body and your brain. This process happens through a network of nerves that spreads out throughout the body. The network of nerves comprises of thousands of nerve fibers that serve different parts of the body.
For these nerve fibers to function properly, they need to have a protective cover or sheath. This way, the electric signals running through one nerve fiber do not slow or leak. This protective cover is called myelin. Choline is one of the nutrients necessary for the generation of myelin.
