Can One Egg a Week Lower Alzheimer's Risk?

About this episode

Can something as simple as one egg a week really lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease? In this video, I break down two long-term U.S. research studies looking at eggs and brain health. One study from the Rush Memory and Aging Project found that older adults who ate about one egg per week had a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

 A second study found that higher egg intake was linked to better cognitive performance in women, with no evidence of cognitive harm in men.

Eggs are not a cure for dementia. But they are a simple, accessible food that contains nutrients the brain needs.For caregivers and older adults who want to support long-term brain health, small changes can matter.
