What is Lecithin?

Lecithin is a fat-like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. Likewise, it is a low-cost supplement that provides choline, inositol, linoleic acid, phosphatidylserine, beneficial fatty acids, and triglycerides. It has proven in human studies to dramatically reduce total cholesterol triglycerides, and bad cholesterol. Always buy non-GMO lecithin granules. If you don’t have any lecithin, you can omit this from the recipe.

Lecithin helps the body digest and utilize the fats and oils that are critical in maintaining efficient brain and nerve function. Perhaps the greatest recent discovery is the use of lecithin to activate a sluggish mind and improve memory by providing the body with the ingredients necessary to produce the vital neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This is the neurotransmitter that is responsible for memory storage and retrieval and the effectiveness of nerve signals in many areas of the brain. Your brain, if dried and analyzed, would show a composition of about 30% of lecithin.

Focus and Concentration

2–4 tablespoons raw tahini
1 tablespoon spirulina, chlorella, or blue-green algae
1 apple, cored
1 tablespoon lecithin granules
1 cup water

Sesame is one of our best sources of omega-6 fatty acids and coenzyme Q10. Algae are some of our best sources of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA as well as DHA, the brain’s most important fatty acid. First, blend the tahini (sesame
seed paste) with half the water. Use raw tahini whenever possible. Then, add the apple pieces and blend some more, adding only enough water to achieve a whirlpool in the blender. Next, add the other dry ingredients and enough water to achieve a thick shake consistency. Add more water as required to achieve a whirlpool in the blender and a smooth consistency.
