A new study suggests that something as simple as eating eggs could play a role in protecting brain health.
Researchers found that people who consumed more than one egg per week had a 47% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared to those who consumed them less often.
Scientists believe the benefit may come from key nutrients found in eggs, particularly choline, which aids memory, brain cell communication, and overall cognitive function. Eggs also contain vitamins B6, B12, folic acid, and antioxidants that help protect the brain from age-related damage.
However, eggs are not a cure or a guarantee of prevention, but these findings add to the growing evidence that diet plays a major role in long-term brain health. Small daily habits such as a balanced diet, physical activity and mental stimulation can contribute to reducing the risk of cognitive decline.
