The efficacy and function of green vegetable and pork liver porridge

Pork liver is good for the fetal brain. Egg yolk, animal liver and meat have always been "disliked" foods because of their high cholesterol content. However, the latest research results of American scientists show that the choline contained in these foods may be beneficial to the development of the fetal brain. Scientists found in rat experiments that if female rats supplement choline during pregnancy, the offspring they give birth to have good memory, learn things quickly, and have a relatively mild degree of memory decline in old age.

Effect 1

Choline is a vitamin B complex, and it is not clear how much choline women usually consume. In the experiment, no side effects were found in pregnant rats given appropriate amounts of choline supplementation.

The gestation period of rats is 21 days. The researchers increased the choline intake of pregnant female rats for 6 consecutive days, which was 3 to 4 times the normal amount. The intake period was roughly equivalent to the beginning of the third trimester of human pregnancy. When the pups born by these female rats grew up, scientists studied their brains from both anatomical and physiological aspects, especially the hippocampus area of ​​the brain that is crucial for learning. Scientists found that compared with rats that did not take extra choline during the fetal period, the brain nerve cells of these rats were significantly larger and had more branches dedicated to receiving external signals. The brain nerve cells of these rats responded quickly to external stimuli and the response lasted for a long time.

At present, scientists do not know exactly how choline improves brain function. Choline is one of the substances known to help form cell membranes during embryonic development. In addition, studies have found that choline can add a methyl group to an important gene called CDKN-3, causing the gene to lose its function of inhibiting cell division in the brain's memory area.

Effect 2

It has the effects of nourishing the liver, improving eyesight, and nourishing blood;

It is used for symptoms such as blood deficiency, chlorosis, night blindness, red eyes, edema, and athlete's foot.
