According to new research published in the journal ScienceDirect, nutritionists at Loma Linda University Health find that adults 65 and older who regularly eat eggs have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

The study followed about 40,000 adults for more than 15 years and finds that the strongest benefits come to those who consume eggs most often. Eating eggs 5 or more days a week have up to a 27% lower risk. Even eating eggs only 1 to 3 times a month was linked to a 17% lower risk of dementia.

Why are eggs brain food? Eggs contain important nutrients for brain health, including choline, which supports memory and communication between brain cells, plus lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids.

The study’s authors emphasize that eggs are not a magic fix. The benefits I just mentioned only appear as part of an overall healthy eating pattern, not in isolation.

I know you are thinking: “but eggs contain a lot of cholesterol.” That’s true, but the cholesterol that leads to heart and general blood vessel disease is not consumed but rather is generated internally by your body. And that generation is driven by wolfing down too many foods with saturated fats.
