Most of the fat found in eggs is unsaturated, good-for-you fat that supports heart health.4  \n2  \nBrain Health  \nEggs are one of the most concentrated food sources of choline in the American diet and contribute other nutrients known for supporting brain health, including the omega-3 fatty acid DHA and lutein.5,6  \n3  \nPediatric Development  \nEggs are a complete protein and have several other key vitamins and minerals recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for little ones’ growing brains, including choline, vitamin B12, and iodine.7  \nThe 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eggs as a first food for babies to meet nutrient needs and to help reduce the risk of developing an egg allergy by introducing eggs early, when baby is developmentally ready – around 6 months of age. 1  \n4 Pregnancy  \nCholine in eggs is critical for fetal brain development, and research shows it can have lasting benefits for cognitive function.8-10 Two eggs supply more than half the recommended choline intake for pregnant women.4,11 Eggs also provide iodine, another essential nutrient for fetal development.1,12  \n5  \nHealthy Aging  \nEggs have vital nutrients for healthy aging including high-quality protein and vitamin B12 – two nutrients many older adults do not consume enough of. Recent research found that eating eggs weekly was linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia, largely due to dietary choline.5 Additionally, eggs provide 252 mcg of bioavailable lutein + zeaxanthin. The accumulation of lutein + zeaxanthin in the macula of the eye (macular pigment optical density (MPOD)) has been associated with a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss for Americans aged 65 years and older.13,14 Research in older adults has shown MPOD is related to cognitive function in older people.15  \n6  \nMuscle Health  \nWith 6g of protein each, eggs provide all 9 essential amino acids in the most digestible and bioavailable forms, making them one of the highest-quality protein sources. Ideal for maintaining and repairing muscle, eating eggs, in combination with carbohydrates post-workout, can help refuel muscles and optimize recovery.  \n7  \nBone Health  \nEggs are also one of the few foods that naturally have vitamin D (1 mcg per large egg), which, along with calcium, is crucial for maintaining strong bones.  \n8  \nWeight Management  \nEggs fill the tank without breaking the calorie bank, helping you feel satisfied. Eating eggs, as part of a higher protein diet, can help curb hunger while providing essential nutrients for full body health.16  \n9  \nEye Health  \nJust as UV rays can damage the skin, blue light exposure over a lifetime causes damage to the eyes and may contribute to age-related macular degeneration.14,17 Lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids found in egg yolks, help protect eyes from the blue light emitted from screens.13,14  \n10  \nSustainable Diets  \nEggs are star ingredients in sustainable diets with a low climate footprint when compared to other proteins. Similar to many other vegetarian proteins, eggs rank low for greenhouse gas impacts.18 With eggs, getting a healthy meal on the table becomes easier and more accessible as eggs help reduce food waste by pairing well with vegetables and common pantry staples.  \n11 Plant-Forward Eating  \nEggs help Americans eat more of what they don’teat enough of—vegetables!
