Egg and health benefits

Boost Brain Health with Eggs' Choline

Another health benefit of eggs is their contribution to the diet as a source of choline. Although our bodies can produce some choline, we cannot make enough to make up for an inadequate supply in our diets, and choline deficiency can also cause deficiency of another B vitamin critically important for health, folic acid.
Choline is also a key component of acetylcholine. A neurotrasmitter that carries messages from and to nerves, acetylcholine is the body's primary chemical means of sending messages between nerves and muscles.


Eggs' Choline Reduces Inflammation
Egg yolks are the richest source of choline, followed by soybeans. Spinach, beets and whole wheat products are primary sources of betaine.



Concerning pregnant women  choline is necessary for brain and memory development in the fetus. It is  essential higher daily intake of choline for pregnant and breastfeeding women (550 mg and 450 mg, respectively).
Older adults are also at high risk of choline deficiency. Choline intake decreases with age, with adults ages 71 and older typically consuming an average of about 264 milligrams per day, roughly half the AI for choline (550 mg/day for men, 425 mg/day for women).


Choline defeciency causes fatty liver or muscle damage. Foods that are good sources of choline should be frequent contributors to your healthy way of eating. Two large eggs provide 252 milligrams of choline (all in yolk), a little less than half the recommended daily supply.
