A study by the University of Eastern Finland, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, has found that eating eggs for breakfast helps improve brain function and prevent dementia.
Researchers state that eggs are rich in protein, vitamins, and abundant antioxidants, which can improve prefrontal cortex function and executive function. In addition, vitamin E in eggs can reduce the risk of heart attacks, while lutein can prevent and treat arterial blockages. Eating eggs in the morning allows for the best absorption of these nutrients. However, the elderly, people with high cholesterol, and those with kidney disease should be mindful of not consuming eggs in excessive amounts.
