Red meat isn’t great for your brain health but white meat—specifically, chicken—is great for your brain. Not only is it a good source of protein, it’s also an excellent source of choline. No, no, not that stuff you put in the swimming pool to keep down the germs. Choline is used to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps improve memory and brain function (it’s also used in motor functions). It also helps regulate REM sleep, which is important for brain health. People with Alzheimer’s have low levels of this neurotransmitter. There is some evidence that choline can serve a neuro-protective role. So broil up a little chicken and support your brain.
