Eggs aren’t just for breakfast anymore 🥚✨
A new study found people who ate eggs more often had a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease — with up to a 27% lower risk for those enjoying eggs 5+ times a week!
Loaded with brain-supporting nutrients like choline, DHA, and vitamin B12, eggs are a simple, delicious way to nourish your body and brain any time of day. Scrambled, baked, tossed on a salad, or snack-style — there are plenty of reasons to crack one more egg 😉
A new study published in The Journal of Nutrition adds powerful evidence that eating eggs is linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers followed a group of health-conscious older adults and examined the data to evaluate how often people ate eggs and whether it was related to their Alzheimer’s risk[JH1.1]. Over an average of 15 years, 7.2% were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Almost a third of those diagnosed didn’t eat eggs at all—people who skipped eggs had a notably higher risk.
The more often people ate eggs, the lower their risk compared to those who did not eat eggs:
🥚 Eggs 1 to 3 times per month: 17% lower risk
🥚 Eggs 5 or more times per week: 27% lower risk
Eggs bring high-quality protein and key nutrients that help support brain health, like:
🥚 Choline (important for memory + other brain functions)
🥚 Lutein + zeaxanthin (252 mcg)
🥚 DHA (an omega-3, 29 mg)
🥚 Vitamin B12
Eggs fit into a healthy diet, and research links moderate egg consumption to lower Alzheimer’s risk.
The American Heart Association includes eggs in a heart-healthy routine (up to 2 per day for most healthy older adults).
You can start eating better at any age. Adding eggs to a plate with fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods can provide nutrients to help support your health and your brain throughout your life.
