Higher choline, omega-3s, lutein, zeaxanthin &amp; overall nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: Most people are unknowingly sabotaging their brain health by avoiding eggs.<\/p>\n<p>The fix is simple &amp; delicious: Eat at least 2\u20133+ high-quality pastured eggs daily (yolks included).<\/p>\n<p>Protect your memory.
