Fat Vs Thin

There’s hopefully a lot of wisdom in today’s title for you. Back in the day when Adele Davis was one of the well known nutritionists in the 60’s and 70’s she touted the important nutritonal advice. One of her famous books I remember reading growing up in my household was Let’s Get Well. What an impact it had on me as a teenager and was intstrumental on my path as a nutritionist.

Today is about lecithin…….a wonderful, wonderful fat emulsifier. Yes, it helps to break fats down. Guess what egg whites are high in??? That’s right lecithin. See mother nature knows to put the balance together. If egg yolks are fat than egg whites are fat emulsifiers to break the fats down in your body and be digested. You know I’m all about the whole egg. Or I should say the whole organic fed, grass fed, range free, no hormone, antibiotic, or corn fed, organic egg, whew. What a mouth ful.

Ok, so you can buy lecithin which is high in the B vitamin choline(for short), which is so very good for any cell, organ, membrane(brain), to stay alive and well. I now add lecithin to my shakes to garner the nutrients it gives my body. Do I wish I could just eat the foods to give my body and mind the nutrition it needs? Absolutely. Do I believe I can get it all from foods? No way. I want great health, a fit body, a fit mind, longevity with health and no dis ease.

Now, eat less, eat well and I’d say add the lecithin for your mind.  Think.
