Quail eggs can serve as "brain boosters."

Introduction: Office workers use their brains so much that to replenish their brain power, many choose to take various pills and supplements regularly. In fact, instead of spending so much money on "chemical foods," it's better to eat a few quail eggs every day. They are a natural "brain booster."

Quail eggs can be considered the best nourishment for mental workers. Although the protein and fat content of quail eggs is comparable to that of chicken eggs, their lecithin and cephalin content is 3-4 times higher than that of chicken eggs. These two substances are essential nutrients for high-level nervous activity, and regular consumption has a particularly good effect on strengthening and nourishing the brain.

Moreover, the riboflavin content of quail eggs is also 2.5 times that of chicken eggs, which is very beneficial for protecting the eyesight of office workers who stare at computers all day. Because the nutrient molecules in quail eggs are smaller, they are easier to absorb and utilize than chicken eggs.

The reason quail eggs are superior to brain-boosting pills is also because their vitamin D content is relatively high, which is unmatched by other poultry eggs. Researchers at the University of Manchester in the UK studied over 3,000 men in 8 European cities and found that people with high vitamin D levels performed better in tests for brain memory and information processing.

The cholesterol in quail eggs is not high

Research data shows that the cholesterol content in 100 grams of quail eggs is 515 mg, while that of chicken eggs is 585 mg, meaning quail eggs have even less cholesterol than chicken eggs. Many people discard egg yolks due to cholesterol concerns, but in fact, yolks not only contain more cholesterol but are also rich in lecithin. The latter can emulsify cholesterol and fat into extremely fine particles that can pass through the blood vessel walls and be directly used by tissues. Therefore, eating egg yolks generally does not increase the concentration of cholesterol in the blood. In terms of cooking methods, whether for quail eggs or chicken eggs, steaming or boiling is the best way to eat them, with a digestive absorption rate of almost 100%.
