THIỆN NHÂN (THEO onlymyhealth) |

Choline deficiency can cause a range of health problems, including restlessness and anxiety, says Dr. Natasha Tipnis.

Dr Natasha Tipnis, Consultant Neurologist and Epilepsy Specialist at Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai, India, said: “Choline is an important nutrient in the body that plays an essential role in maintaining brain health, nervous system and cell function. Choline deficiency can cause a variety of health problems.”

The role of choline in the production of acetylcholine: Choline is an important component of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Acetylcholine plays a role in regulating mood, memory, and concentration. When choline is deficient, acetylcholine production is reduced, leading to problems with brain function, including mood swings, anxiety, and restlessness.

Effects on the nervous system: Choline deficiency can impair the function of the central nervous system, as choline is involved in maintaining the structure and function of nerve cells. This can lead to symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and restlessness.

Linked to stress and anxiety: Choline also helps reduce stress levels. When choline is deficient, the body may have difficulty controlling its stress response, leading to feelings of anxiety, tension, and restlessness.

Lipid balance and liver function: Choline is also involved in maintaining lipid balance in the body and supporting liver function. Choline deficiency can cause fat accumulation in the liver, increasing inflammation and stress in the body, which can affect mood and create feelings of anxiety.

Common symptoms of choline deficiency

In addition to restlessness and anxiety, some other common symptoms of choline deficiency include:

- Muscle pain and damage.

- Tingling sensation due to nerve damage.

- Memory loss and cognitive problems.

- Mood swings.

- Fish, especially salmon.
