When it comes to getting older, memory loss and declining cognitive function are two of the biggest fears many of us face. Luckily, there are some tasty ways to protect our noggins as we age — especially for all you omelet fans out there.
But really, it doesn’t matter how you prefer your eggs; they’re packed with plenty of perks for your brain, whether sunny-side-up or hard boiled. However, you can give yourself even more benefits by getting a little picky when it comes to the brand of eggs you choose. Eggland’s Best® produces amped up eggs thanks to the fortified feed their chickens enjoy with a plethora of helpful nutrients. In particular, two of the omega-3s found inside their eggs happen to be great for cognitive health: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Scrambling up even just one Eggland’s Best egg will give you 63 mg of DHA, which is more than double the amount you’ll find in ordinary eggs (usually around 29 mg). The level of ALA goes even further with 60 mg, more than tripling the average 18 mg in ordinary eggs.
