A minimalist illustration featuring a soft, abstract outline of a brain with egg shapes subtly placed inside and around it. The design uses light pastel colors, primarily soft beige and pale yellow, to represent the connection between egg consumption and brain health. The overall style is calming and simple, with a focus on clarity and wellness.

This Protein-Packed Food May Slow Brain Aging, Per New Study

Scott Keatley, RD, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, was featured in an article on AOL.com titled "This Protein-Packed Food May Slow Brain Aging". The article explores a new study published in Nutrients linking egg consumption to a reduced risk of cognitive decline. Keatley emphasized that eggs are one of the best sources of choline, a nutrient crucial for brain development and function. He highlighted choline’s role as a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. Additionally, eggs contain vitamin B12, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which may help protect against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cognitive decline. Keatley also pointed out the benefits of eggs in promoting satiety and supporting muscle mass maintenance as we age.
