The risk of Alzheimer's was found to be 47 percent lower in those who eat more than one egg a week. Neurology Specialist Dr. Mihriban Andaç emphasized that eggs, which reduce the risk of Alzheimer's due to the rich amount of choline in it, must be organic.
According to a published study, egg consumption reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's. In those who consume more than one egg a week, the risk of Alzheimer's was found to be 47 percent lower. Choline contributes to the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter necessary for memory, mood and muscle control. Therefore, ensuring adequate choline intake can support cognitive functions. It can also help prevent some neurological disorders. Stating that one of the richest foods in terms of choline is eggs, Neurology Specialist Dr. Mihriban Andaç from Erdem Çakmak Hospital made nutritional recommendations.
“It is beneficial for our young people to consume 1-2 eggs a day”
Uzm. Dr. Andaç said, “Choline is considered one of the B group vitamins. Eggs are important nutrients in terms of choline. However, it is mostly found in the yolk. It is less in the white. It is very important not only to eat eggs but also to have a balanced diet. Protein, fat and carbohydrates are always necessary. Eggs are very important in children's nutrition. The reason why we say organic eggs and free-range chicken is that the amount of choline is very good. Of course, we do not like industrial eggs very much. It is beneficial for our young people to consume 1-2 eggs a day. Let them consume them for their learning, motivation, energy, muscle movements and sleep patterns.”
“Consume more boiled and poached eggs”
Stating that he recommends consuming eggs in boiled and poached form, Uzmanm. Dr. Andaç said, “Vitamin E absorption increases if consumed with raw vegetables. If adults have cholesterol problems, they can consume 4-5 eggs a week. Among the foods containing choline; chicken meat, turkey meat, beef, shellfish, fish, spinach, broccoli, raw almonds, walnuts, cashew, cauliflower, cauliflower, flaxseed. I especially care about flaxseed,” he said.
