Eating eggs has a health-protective effect on human memory. According to a recent report in the U.S. *The New York Times*, a study from Boston University showed that people who consume adequate choline perform better on memory tests and experience less decline in indicators related to cognitive disorders, such as memory.
Various ways to prepare eggs
Eggs are rich in choline—a B-complex vitamin that helps improve memory. A single egg contains about 113 milligrams of choline, an essential substance for synthesizing the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine and an important component of cell membranes, playing a key role in maintaining brain memory. Scientists believe that eating 1-2 eggs daily is a good choice for brain health.
In addition, two antioxidants found in egg yolks, lutein and zeaxanthin, have been shown to improve cognitive function. Researchers at Tufts University in the U.S. believe that older adults who eat two eggs a day outperform those who do not eat eggs at all in terms of memory, reasoning, verbal fluency, and concentration. Scientists believe this research will demonstrate the significant role of eggs in enhancing brain cognitive function.
Furthermore, lutein and zeaxanthin are also crucial for eye health, helping to prevent age-related blindness caused by diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
